Internal and Divisional Investigations Report

December L7,20L7
Allegation:
Summary
a
Violation of KPD Policy 13.20 Unlawful Harassment
Violation of City Policy 2.03 Sexual Harassment
Violation of City Policy 2.12 Harassment and Discrimination
Violation of City Policy 2.08 Mission, Vision and Values
Violation of City Policy 2.1.4 Code of Conduct
A sergeant was alleged to have discussed issues of a sexual nature involving a fellow
officer in front of other officers during work time. This was alleged to have occurred on
at least four separate occasions over approximately one year. The investigation into this
matter was conducted by the City of Kent Human Resources Department.
Disposition: The allegations were Sustained.
The Sergeant was given the following discipline
The Sergeant will serve a three week suspension. The three weeks may be staggered
over three months to spread out the financial impacts of the suspension,
The Sergeant will be placed on one year of probation subject to the condition that a
revocation of probation (and thus a demotion) will only occur in the event the Sergeant
engages in conduct similar to this discipline or fails to attend or successfully complete
required training. The probationary period began on April 16, 2018.
The Sergeant will be required to attend training of the City's choosing. His failure to
attend or successfully complete training that occurs during probation will be a basis for
action on his probationary status (i.e. demotion).
The Sergeant may be moved to a shift opposite of the involved officer so that he does
not work the same shift. The Sergeant will not be prohibited from working OT on shifts
of his choice.
a
a
a
Separate from the above discipline, and as a matter of management right, the Sergeant will be removed
from his Kent Police Department training assignment. However, the Sergeant may be required to
continue to train other officers to be Master Trainers through the end of 2018.
Any form of retaliation against any of the complaining parties or witnesses in this matter will result in
termination. For the benefit of the Sergeant, according to the Equal Employment Opportunity
Commission, the following nonexclusive list of behaviors could constitute retaliation taken against an
employee reporting or being a witness to sexual harassment, whether they occur on or off duty:
. lnappropriately reprimanding the employee or issuing a performance evaluation that is
lower than it should be
. Engaging in verbal or physical abuse
¡ Threatening to make, or actually making unfounded reports to supervisors
. lncreasing scrutiny of an employee
. Spreading false rumors
. Making an employee's work more difficult
