Just chillin' in Kent
“We did quite a bit of work over the last year in recruitment and have a lot of officers lined up or are currently in the academy,” Ralph said on The Gee & Ursula Show.“In Kent, to get us up just to average level staffing, with a population our size with the type of criminal activity that we have, we need at least another 30 officers,” Ralph explained. “There’s just no funding source.
“We also negotiated a solid contract to become one of the highest-paid departments in the state,” Ralph said. “But we also have recruited some really young creative officers that were able to just go out and connect with a lot of new hires, people that may have not necessarily considered law enforcement as a career. And social media is a pretty powerful tool. Instagram is a great way to see what Kent Police recruiting is doing. And it’s paid off.
“I think every city could use more shelter space,” Ralph explained. “We work very closely with a lot of service providers on finding temporary shelter space with the idea of getting people moved into a more permanent solution.” Ralph will give her annual State of the City speech Tuesday night and said that the city has a lot to be proud of.
