Reynolds v. Kirkland Police Commission

Washington Supreme Court

Decided August 15, 1963No. 36286, 36329PublishedCited by 24 opinions

1Opinion of the CourtDonworth, J.

This is a consolidated appeal from orders entered by the Superior Court of Kong County affirming the temporary suspension and permanent demotion of appellants, Chief of Police Clem J. Reynolds and Police Sergeant George Williams, by the Kirkland Police Commission. Dissension within the Kirkland Police Department formed the factual foundation for the action taken against appellants.

The proceedings that led to the orders of the Kirkland Police Commission, which were affirmed by the superior court, present a tangled web, which will be set forth to the extent made possible by the record.
