Department Overview: It is the Kansas City Police Department’s mission to protect and serve with professionalism, honor, and integrity and its vision is to make Kansas City and the metropolitan area the safest community in the nation as a result of the efforts of the Kansas City Missouri Police Department and its many partners. Police officers perform a number of essential functions such as patrol areas to prevent and detect crime; respond to calls for assistance; conduct criminal investigations; interact with the community to build cooperation and support; pursue and arrest suspects; enforce traffic and parking laws; write reports and maintain records; work with superiors, peers, and others as a team; prepare for and participate in planned events; prepare for court and give testimony, and fulfill other administrative duties when required. The KCPD offers the opportunity to transfer to specialized units after three years in patrol such as investigations, K-9, TAC (SWAT), bomb and arson, narcotics and vice, traffic enforcement, the helicopter unit and so much more.
After 5 years in the department we offer opportunities to be promoted. This is much more than a job; it is an opportunity to help others, give back to your community, and build a career that you can be proud of.
