10960. IN RE CHRISTOPHER JONES, pet, v. RAYMOND KELLY, ETC., res — Baker, Leshko, Saline & Blosser, LLP, White Plains (Anthony C. Saline of counsel), for pet — Michael A. Cardozo, Corporation Counsel, New York (Scott Shorr of counsel), for res — Determination of respondent, dated January 19, 2012, which terminated petitioner’s employment as a detective for the New York City Police Department, unanimously confirmed, the petition denied, and the proceeding brought pursuant to CPLR article 78 (transferred to this Court by order of Supreme Court, New York County [Alice Schlesinger, J.], entered on or about September 18, 2012), dismissed, without costs.

The determination that petitioner possessed and ingested cocaine was supported by substantial evidence, including the positive random drug test results (see generally 300 Gramatan Ave. Assoc. v. State Div. of Human Rights, 45 NY2d 176, 180 [1978]). There is no basis for disturbing the Hearing Officer’s credibility determinations (see Matter of Berenhaus v. Ward, 70 NY2d 436, 443-444 [1987]).
