1Opinion of the Court

¶1

Schultheis, J.

— Daniel Gaspar filed a complaint against his former employer, Peshastin Hi-Up Growers, for wrongful termination in violation of public policy. He contends he was terminated for assisting a police investigation *633at his workplace. The trial court dismissed his complaint and he appeals, contending the trial court failed to recognize that he was terminated in violation of a clearly mandated public policy. Because we find that Mr. Gaspar established a valid claim that he was discharged in violation of a clear public policy for assisting a police investigation, we reverse and remand.
