Kent Marlowe

Kent Marlowe (played by Philip Van Dyke) is the secondary antagonist in the 1998 Disney Television Movie Safety Patrol.

Kent is the leader of the safety patrol members, who are also bullies. He is also the son of the Principal at the school Laurelview Middle School, where robberies were taking place. Kent and his patrol members were working with the robbery with mother and son robbers Georgina (aka Mrs. Day the school cook) and Tim Bartlett (aka Mr. Miller the janitor).

At a school assembly, the film's protagonist, Scout Bozell (played by Bug Hall) who always dreamed of being a safety patrol member, cheered "Go Safeties!" for Kent and his safety patrol friends, making the rest of the school chant as if they were telling them to leave. As a result Kent and his friends were humiliated by Scout. Later on, when Mrs. Marlowe got suspicious and found out that a Safety Patrol member is behind the thefts, Kent recruits Scout to be on safety patrol in order to frame him for the crimes. At a ceremony, in which Hannah (Scout's girlfriend) is valedictorian, Kent gives a lighter and the key to Mrs. Marlowe's office to Mr. Miller and Mrs. Day, who then sneak them into Scout's pocket. When fellow patrolman Coop asks Scout to get his gloves, he discovers Mrs. Marlowe's office is on fire, so he puts the fire out and saves the hamster; however, when the key and the lighter fall out of his pocket, it appears as though Scout stole the key and started the fire, so he is kicked off of safety patrol and forbidden to attend the Fall Ball.

Later on Hannah discovered that Kent, Mrs. Day, and Mr. Miller were behind the fire from her father's videotaping of the ceremony and they planted keys and lighter in Scout's pocket. So as a result, they all go to the fall ball and have "Weird" Al Yankovic expose the tape to everyone, making Kent and the others kicked out of safety patrol for good.
