Credit: (Screenshot from Kent PD video) Kent police promises new policies and data in wake of anonymous campaign Feb 16, 2021 An anonymous letter and videos demanding changes in policing have roiled the city of Kent in recent weeks. Police Chief Rafael Padilla has appeared before the City Council to offer explanations and apologies. He said the department is moving quickly to unveil new policies and training. Last month Kent officials received an open letter from a group calling itself “No Secret Police.” The letter criticized the Kent Police Department’s lack of policies and training for de-escalation. It also criticized the department’s more frequent use of force in arrests of Black and Indigenous people. And it said the department helped get rid of offensive social media posts by officers last summer.
