Former Kent Assistant Police Chief Derek Kammerzell was disciplined in September 2020 for displaying the insignia of the ‘Obergruppenführer’ a high rank within the SS, a Nazi paramilitary group.He was initially ordered to take two weeks off without pay as punishment, but was still allowed to use his vacation time to make up for the loss in salary, as well as attend ‘cultural sensitivity training.
That action led to a dispute the city says was resolved by it paying Kammerzell $1,520,000 to resign. “So Kent says goodbye to [Kammerzell’s] 27 years or performance without any discipline, any allegations of excessive force during his career, and no known complaints from the community,” Suits said on KTTH this morning. “I served with Derek Kammerzell in my infantry battalion in Iraq, and I know him to be a spiffing bloke and an upright chap, and if he wants to stay in law enforcement… I’m sure some community in Montana is gonna be very, very pleased with the new chief Kammerzell.
