🌟Our 15th annual Shop with a PV Cop event brought smiles this week! 🌟 We partnered with local schools to treat 10 deserving children to a shopping spree with our officers, followed by a pizza party and dessert at the station while volunteers wrapped gifts. A massive thank you to the local businesses, restaurants, foundations, and private donors that contributed! Your generous partnership and donations of toys, gift cards, and funds extended the holiday joy to these children and their families. We appreciate your support!

Our friends @GreatPlainsSPCA are hosting a microchip clinic Friday, November 21 - Wednesday, November 26. Walk-ins welcome between 10am-5pm. These microchips are free with a donation.

Beginning tomorrow, November 22 through November 29, we are joining forces with agencies across Kansas to further enforce traffic laws as part of KDOT’s Safe Arrival Initiative. Our officers will be out in full force focusing on seat belt wearing, speeding, impaired driving, and distracted driving. Thanksgiving week sees more impairment-related crashes than any other time of the year. We want to ensure you arrive safely!

Congratulations to our 2025 Citizens Academy graduates! We hope you learned a lot and had as much fun as we did over the past 10 weeks!

Today, the Kansas City Metro Chiefs & Sheriffs Association honored several individuals for their heroic acts throughout the year. Among those honored was our very own Officer Seth Dittemore, who was recognized for the lifesaving measures he performed on a medical call in Mission Hills this past July. Thanks to Officer Dittemore and others, the person was taken to the hospital and has since made a full recovery!

The holidays are coming up fast! Reminders for essential present safety from our investigations team🎁

At last night's City Council meeting, Officers Jeremiah Smith and Seth Dittemore received the Lifesaving award for responding to a call of a patient in cardiac arrest. They quickly began CPR and connected the AED to the patient. They continued CPR until paramedics arrived. Without their quick response, application of their training and equipment, the patient may not have survived. Thanks to their hard work and dedication, the patient is doing well and was able to join us at the awards ceremony last night!
