Under what conditions would it be necessary to demote a security officer?

Demoting a security officer is typically a serious action taken in response to ongoing behavioral or performance issues. In this scenario, the condition requiring demotion is clearly related to the officer's failure to change their behavior after a suspension. Suspension is often implemented as a disciplinary measure, allowing the officer an opportunity to reflect on their actions and understand the consequences of their behavior. If there's no change in behavior following suspension, it indicates a lack of improvement or effort on their part to align with the expected standards, warranting a demotion as a consequence of ongoing issues.

The other conditions do not directly relate to the performance ramifications necessitating a demotion. Receiving an initial warning might lead to corrective action or further monitoring but does not automatically justify demotion. If the officer's work performance improves, demotion would not be appropriate since positive performance should be recognized rather than penalized. Employment duration alone, such as being employed for over a year, does not serve as a valid reason for demotion unless it is connected to performance or behavior issues.
