19, 1999, which denied petitioner’s application to annul respondents’ determination terminating petitioner’s employment as a probationary police officer, and dismissed the petition, unanimously affirmed, without costs.

For the reasons stated in Matter of Williams v Safir ( 265 AD2d 182 ), we reject petitioner’s argument that because of McKinney’s Unconsolidated Laws of NY § 891 (L 1940, ch 834), he could not be terminated without a hearing. Concur — Nardelli, J. P., Rubin, Andrias, Buckley and Friedman, JJ.
