The following communication from Mr. Bernitt, Director of Public Safety, is called to the attention of the Trustees: I am taking this means to formally request your support and official action to obtain an award of commendation from the State Board of Trustees for Officer Harold Kent, of this department. On the night of November 12, Officer Kent observed the suspicious actions of two males in the parking lot located south of the Library. In order to determine what was happening he approached them and asked what they were doing. Both subjects ran and he pursued them. One of them subsequently jumped into the Red Cedar River, swam to the center, and then called for help. Officer Kent removed his outer garments and dove into the river in an unsuccessful attempt to save the life of the person, later identified as Rudolpho Rodriguez. I The exhaustive chase and subsequent effort in the chill waters of the river almost cost the officer his life. Apparently the presence and assistance of two by-standers who pulled Kent from the water Ts edge aided immeasurably in his safety. continued - - I I I 1 1 December 15, 4:587, ;KEW-BUSINESS, continued Miscellaneous/ continued 9* Commendation for Officer Harold Kent/ continued: An official coroner's inquest was conducted and the jury unanimously ruled that Rodriguez's death was accidental and no illegal actions were taken by the officer. The jury also recommended that Kent be commended for his heroism, Our subsequent investigation has revealed that the deceased, along with an accomplice came specifically onto the campus to steal clothing from parked cars. In fact, they had committed several thefts from cars before Kent came upon them* The accomplice has already stood mute upon a charge of larceny from a vehicle and is awaiting trial at this time. Officer Kent's alertness and heroic effort at the risk of his own life were in the highest traditions of the police service, and we as his colleagues are proud to be associated with him. I commendation I for Officer I Harold Kent I ; j j : j ! \ | Recognition of his service by the Governing board of this institution is deemed appropriate j j and I request your favorable consideration.
