Dear Chief Frederiksen:
Today, I was offered employment by the Washington State Criminal Justice
Training Commission as the Law Enforcement Training Coordinator for Advanced
and Specialized In-Service Training; a wordy title that identifies the job
that I 've been doing for the past 2'12 years. After careful consideration of
• attributes of both careers, I have opted to accept the offer:
It is unfortunate that I cannot give longer notice, but the position
begins the first of July. I apologize for the inconvienience that the short
notice will cause to the supervisory and line staff.
I do, however, fully intend to keep my commitment to Ofc. Wong to teach
the Department's First Aid and CPR refresher classes this summer. I have
enough leave time accrued to keep me on the books as an employee through
the months of July and August, so on those days, I ' ll come back to "work"
the day.
Thank you for giving me the approval originally to go on this loan assign-
ment. The working conditions, responsibility, and mental stimulation were
a great opportunity to show my skills and abilities,
Sincerely, CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION'

August 17, 1989
Dear Chief;
This letter is to formally inform you that I am resigning as
Public Education Specialist for the Police Dept. Public Education
Unit (formerly Task Force and Crime Prevention Units) . My last
day of employment will be August 31, 1989 (two weeks from this
date. )
I must tell you that this decision has been a difficult one; I
have enjoyed my work with the Kent Police Dept. immensely, and
will find it difficult to leave all my professional peers and
. friends here. However, I have accepted the position of Program
Coordinator with the City of Bellevue ' s DWI Task Force and will
begin work there Sept. 1st.
This resignation comes after much deliberation; I feel compelled
to tell you that it is only due to striving for new career
challenges and wishing to relocate soon (our first, home) to the
Eastside that urges me to this decision. I only hope that I find
the Police Administration in my new position as professional and
as caring about their employees as you have been.
I will continue to work on the 1989-90 Design Contest planing as
well as other task areas prior to my departure.
Thank you for all the professional training and work
opportunities you have given to me in the last (nearly) three
years since my hire. I feel it is a tremendous reflection of the
caliber of people working in the Kent Police Dept. that I was
selected for this position.
Sincerely,
pe ' 2 /r/ , C /" CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION

The purpose of this memorandum is to bring to conclusion IAC #89-
069. My decision in this matter is based upon the following
sustained allegations of misconduct:
* Aiding a known escaped prisoner - SUSTAINED
* Having other corrections officers pass on your phone number
to female inmates (violation of Section H-01 "Standard of
Conduct" of Kent Police Department operations manual) -
SUSTAINED
It is with regret that I must inform you that due to your serious
violation of Kent Police Department policy and violation of the
Washington law, that your employment with the Kent Police
Department and the City of Kent is terminated effective
immediately.
As you are covered by Civil Service rules you do have the
opportunity appeal my decision. A copy of Civil Service rules have
been attached to this memorandum.
I wish you the very best in your future endeavors.
