MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
By and Between The
CITY OF KENT
and
KENT POLICE OFFICERS ASSOCIATION
Representing the
POLICE SERGEANTS AND OFFICERS
This Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU") is entered into by and between the
City of Kent ("City") and the Kent Police Officers Association representing the Police
Sergeants and Officers' bargaining unit ("KPOA") to memorialize an agreement
reached between the City and KPAO regarding the implementation of a body-worn
camera ("BWC") program in the Kent Police Department.
The City intends to implement a BWC program for the Kent Police Department to
record interactions between police officers and members of the public.
The following provisions shall apply to the BWC program:
1. The Department retains sole discretion to determine which officers will be
required to use and operate the BWC in the performance of their official duties.
The Department also retains sole discretion to determine the rate of deployment
of the BWC and the number of officers who are assigned a BWC.
2. Effective September 16, 2019, an additional one percent (1%) shall be added to
the base monthly salary of each commissioned officer of the rank of officer or
sergeant. This additional 1% will appear on the October 4th paycheck.
3. Any officer or sergeant who is not regularly assigned a BWC, but who is
deployed with a BWC for a shift/assignment will not receive additional pay above
the 1% called for in this MOU. Under no circumstances may an officer or
sergeant receive more than the 1% of additional pay as specified in this MOU.
4. Unless the BWC program is terminated by the Department earlier, this MOU
shall expire upon the ratification of a new collective bargaining agreement
between the City and KPOA.
5. The Department retains sole discretion to terminate the BWC program. In the
event the BWC program is terminated, officers and sergeants shall stop
receiving the 1% of additional pay as called for in this MOU on the date following
the day in which the cameras are removed from service.
6. In the event of an operational problem with the BWC or technology that
supports the BWC such that the use of the BWC footage is impractical, or in the
event of a court ruling or statutory change that makes the use of the BWC or
the admission of BWC evidence in court impractical, the Department may, in its
discretion and in lieu of terminating the BWC program, pause the program for a
period of time as determined by the Department. In the event the Department
pauses the program, the 1% pay as provided for in this MOU shall pause
starting on the first day of the pay period following the pause of the program. If
the BWC program is reactivated, the 1% pay as called for in this MOU shall
begin applying again on the date the first camera is reissued or the date the first
officer is ordered to wear the BWC.
7. If, at any time, the City adopts an in-car video program, the City will provide
notice and the opportunity to bargain upon request.
The parties agree that this MOU shall not be precedent-setting. More specifically,
and without limitation, the parties agree that the compensation set forth above
shall not be precedent-setting and shall not be used by the KPOA for comparative
purposes. Furthermore, this MOU supersedes the MOU for the BWC pilot program
executed on December 19, 2018, and the MOU executed on December 19, 2018,
shall be null and void upon the execution of this MOU on September 16, 2019. The
BWC pilot program shall end effective September 16, 2019.
By signing below, the parties agree that the above represents the parties' full and
entire agreement with regard to these matters.
This MOU shall be deemed effective as of the last date of signature below.
