Chief Gary Stone Takes Oath of Office!

Last night at Kent City Council, Gary Stone was sworn in as Kent Chief of Police. While he has officially been chief for a few weeks, last night was an opportunity for a formal ceremony and official oath administered by Kent Mayor, Jack Amrhein, and introduction by City Manager Dave Ruller. After taking his oath, Chief Stone addressed a council chamber full of family, friends, city administrators, colleagues from multiple police departments, and Kent residents.

Chief Stone said he is proud to take this new journey, and being sworn in as Kent's chief of police is one of the proudest moments of his life. Chief Stone cited something he's always remembered, that working in public administration is about "human dignity," and "trying to make life better for people of all walks of life."
