Derek Kammerzell disciplined in July 2001 for placing symbol on his office door. Derek Kammerzell, an assistant chief with the Kent Police Department, received a two-week suspension in July 2021 after displaying a Nazi symbol on the office door above his name. Kammerzell, a 27-year veteran of the department, was suspended by Police Chief Rafael Padilla for violating city policy prohibiting harassment and discrimination and for unbecoming conduct in violation of police policy. Padilla took the action after Kammerzell posted the insignia attributed to a Nazi military rank, according to a July 14, 2021, Notice of Discipline document issued by Padilla to Kammerzell. (…) A Kent Police officer emailed Padilla on Sept. 24, 2020, about his concern that an inappropriate symbol had been posted over Assistant Chief Kammerzell’s nameplate outside his office, according to city documents. The officer researched the symbol and discovered it was the rank of insignia of an Nazi SS general called SS-Obergruppenfuhrer. Padilla was out of the office at the time, but asked another assistant chief to remove the emblem from the door.
