Welcome

In 1995, the Kent School District took a unique approach to the safety operations with the philosophy that it takes a whole village, by partnering with parents and the community to provide not just security & safety but also many support services. The Kent School District Safety Services constantly seeks to improve and maintain strong relations within the community. Many of our officers are parents, and many serve as mentors, coaches, and advisors for students in the Kent School District.
The Kent School District Safety Services takes pride in maintaining high standards for our safety officers. Before being considered for employment, potential candidates must have a minimum of two years experience in schools, security and/or youth intervention. Applicants must pass a written test, a physical fitness test, as well as two separate oral interviews before a panel. Officers must have excellent interpersonal skills as well as good verbal and written communication skills. Additionally, every officer must attend a minimum of 80 additional hours of annual training.
