## Opinion text

*1231 CONCURRING OPINION BY
Judge LEAVITT.
I concur in the result and agree that Employer failed to prove that Claimant’s certification had been revoked or that Employer had discharged Claimant. That absence of evidence was fatal to Employer’s case. I write separately only to note that the WCJ lacked jurisdiction to hold whether or not Employer’s evidence satisfied the terms of Chapter 21, Subchapter D of the General Local Government Code, 53 Pa. C.S. §§ 2161-2171 (relating to Municipal Police Education and Training).
