Re:Re-lnstatement on Eligibílity List
My name is Luis Villalpando. I applied as a Lateral Police Officer for the city of Kent in March
2019.1 completed the application and initialtesting process and had moveà into the background
investigation portion of your hiring process.
During the background investigation, I became aware of some delinquent accounts which were
showing on my credit report. I want to be the best candidate possible and so rather than
continue and chance the appearance that I was irresponsible; I chose to withdraw from the
eligibility list and correct these accounts.
I have since contacted those creditors and have paid my debts. I am requesting my name be
placed back on the eligibility list so that I may once again be considered for tne poðition of City
of Kent Police Officer.
