For instance, in In re Emmons, 63N.J. Super. 136, 164 A.2d 184 (1960), the Appellate Division confronted the issue whether an off-duty police officer’s refusal to cooperate and to submit to a sobriety test following an automobile accident constituted “conduct unbecoming an officer.” Id.at 140, 164 A.2d 184. The court observed that “[t]he phrase is an elastic one,” that “has been defined as `any conduct which adversely affects the morale or efficiency of the bureau … [or] which has a tendency to destroy public respect for municipal employees and confidence in the operation of municipal services.'” Ibid. (quoting In re Zeber, 398 Pa. 35, 156 A.2d 821, 825 (1959)).
