Last week at the Kent American Legion Post 496 First Responders Dinner, Lt. Josh Nelson was presented with the Kent Police Department
2025 Supervisor of the Year Award.

Lt. Nelson began his career at the Kent Police Department in 2012 after serving as a police officer with the Robinson Memorial Hospital Police Department. Lt. Nelson started as a patrol officer where he spent time working patrol on all our patrol shifts. While a patrol officer, he also served as a member of the U.S. Marshall’s Violent Fugitive Task Force. Lt. Nelson was promoted to sergeant in 2020 and served his time as a sergeant as the night shift patrol sergeant. In this role, he worked closely with his shift lieutenant to create a positive culture on their shift. He has shown his ability to balance accountability and support for those he supervises. Lt. Nelson was promoted to lieutenant in July of 2025. When promoted, he became the afternoon shift patrol lieutenant where he is responsible for the duties of shift commander. Lt. Nelson carried what he has learned with him into his new role and continues to balance accountability and support for those he supervises to create a positive working environment on his shift. In 2025, Lt. Nelson actively recruited new members for our department and took on the role of background investigator for new officers. He performed admirably in these roles while also learning his new job function.

Lt. Nelson has proven to be an asset to the Kent Police Department and deserving of recognition as the Kent Police Department 2025 Supervisor-of-the-Year. Congratulations, Lieutenant Nelson!
