It is my opinion that this candidate does not possess the characteristics sought by the Kent Police Department. I will be present at the next Civil Service meeting and can address questions or concerns that might arise due to my recommendation. RHF:klr CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION JUL 0 2 M �i June 26, 1990 Dear Civil Service Commission: I would like to express my disappointment after being noti- fied that my name had been removed from the current Law En- forcement Officer Eligibility List. Hopefully after reading my following statement, my eligibility will be reconsidered. I -realize that many people of my age and that have .had the educational opportunities that I have had hold a college de- gree and are well established in their chosen careers . They have my respect and admiration. Given the opportunity to re-live the last ten years of my life, there are many deci- sions that I would have made differently. I have learned from the past, but I am not living in the past. I am living in the here and now, and for the future. I currently have a very secure job that has career potential with the Boeing Commercial Aircraft Company. Everyday at this job I cross paths with many professional people such as engineers, planners, and department managers that live for . quitting time, the weekend, and for retirement. If they are content I am happy for them. I would like to pursue a career in law enforcement because I feel this is a career that a person could always feel optimistic and enthusiastic about. As a police officer, one would not only have a career that one could be proud of, but more importantly a career that on a daily basis one could contribute to society and perhaps make a difference in someone' s life. In closing I would like to thank you for your time and consider- ation. I would very much like the opportunity to serve- as a police officer for the city of Kent. Sincerely, Timothy y> Timothy C.

Dixon Secretary Chief Examiner CGL rIGG � R9 er Jarvis Alexander Thornton Ron Forest Chaff an commissioner Commissioner 220 4th AVE.SO.,/ KENT,WASHINGTON 98032-5895/TELEPHONE (206)859-3300 CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION JUL 0 91990 Steven K. Strand 2501 148th Ave S.E. Apt C-4 Bellevue, Washington 98007 Kent Civil Service Commission 220 South Fourth Avenue Kent, Washington 98032 July 2, 1990 Dear Commission Members: I am appealing your decision to remove my name from the Police Candidate list for the following reasons: 1. Your background investigation of me turned up a Seattle Police report listing me as a "suspect" for an obscene phone call. This was the first time I had ever heard of this incident. I was never questioned, charged or convicted regarding this matter. Now, five years later, I am denied due process of the law. It was my understanding that my rights state that I am to be innocent until proven guilty. I am not guilty. I have never made an obscene phone call. I offered to take a polygraph test to attest this fact and would welcome the opportunity to prove my innocence. 2. There is no Bellevue Police report that has me involved with domestic violence. One night, my girlfriend at the time, Candi Middling, dialed 911 and hung up for reasons unknown to me. The 911 operator called back, and I told the operator that my girlfriend and I were having an argument, but I did not know why my girlfriend had called. The ,operator then talked to my girlfriend who explained it had been an accident. A police officer, Officer Elliott, came to my apartment to verify what was told to the operator. I have talked to the officer since my removal from your list. He assured me that there was no reason why the incident should reflect on me in a negative way. He also instructed me that the Kent Police investigator could contact him and he would explain the situation. 3 . I cannot see any reason why my ex-girlfriend's temper and destructive personality should keep me from becoming a police officer. It is true that she has broken things of mine, but I have never broken anything or retaliated in any way. I made a bad choice in a girlfriend, however, when I discovered that she is a compulsive liar and that she has a destructive behavior, I ended the relationship. 4 . Any omissions on my application were accidental and in no way done to conceal or deceive. I had forgotten that I worked for Baskin-Robbins, because it was so long ago and for such a short period of time. I did not write down that I went to Roosevelt High School, because I understood the application to mean I should write the schools from which I received degrees or diplomas. I did not write down any Seattle addresses for my residence because the application asked only to go back to my 18th birthday. There is nothing that happened at Baskin-Robbins, Roosevelt High School, or at my Seattle residence that I am trying to conceal. It was an honest mistake. 5. I do not feel that I am immature or that I have a problem with women. Any of my friends, relatives, or anyone else that knows me well has surely told you this. I cannot imagine anyone with whom the investigators spoke who might have told them I am immature or have a problem with women. If these conclusions were derived from the aforementioned incidents, I would hope the Kent Civil Service will allow me the opportunity to clear up these misunderstandings. I am quite confident that I would be a great asset to the Kent Police Department. Again, I am hopeful that my appeal will be accepted and I will be able to straighten out these wrongful implications. • Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, � /J�6G1G�'� A% /0� � Steven K. Strand • MEMORANDUM • DATE: JuLY 16, 1990 TO: CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION FROM: Catherine M.
