I willingly withdrew on November 12th due to personal issues. My wife issued me with a personal protection order and I went to court 2 weeks later and it was ruled in my favor. Nothing negative is against me.Since then I am currently going through a divorce. I still would love nothing more than to become a Kent police officer and believe I would be an excellent candidate If given the opportunity to continue on. I made it far in the hiring process which tells me the department also believes and sees qualities in me that will be great for the department and police officers alike. I Would love nothing more than a second chance and to one day make my daughter proud. Nicholas Shaina 1
