The Kenner Police Department’s mission is to provide our community with the most effective and professional law enforcement and public safety services. We recognize and take pride in our continuous contribution to the quality of life in our community. We will meet the challenge of fulfilling our mission by basing our actions on these guiding principles:
Crime Prevention, Law Enforcement, & Public Safety
We strive to prevent criminal activity by engaging in innovative policing methods.
We preserve the peace and suppress crime by investigating suspected criminal activity. We arrest and incarcerate persons who commit criminal acts.
We protect life and property by effectively responding to all disasters and emergencies.
We promote the efficient flow of traffic, investigate accidents and encourage safe driving habits.
We respond in a timely manner to all service requests.
Community Relations
We educate our citizens about crime prevention.
We educate our youth on the dangers of substance abuse and delinquency.
We work to earn the respect of all the people we serve. We perform our duties with courtesy, fairness, efficiency, professionalism and respect for diversity.
We promote an open-door policy concerning all matters of public interest.
We recognize and value the members of our community as partners in a unified effort to prevent and reduce crime.
Ethics & Professional Standards
We are committed to uphold our position of trust by maintaining the highest ethical standards.
We value the spirit of teamwork, commitment to duty and training.
We pledge to make maximum effective use of the resources and personnel and demonstrate fiscal responsibility.
Collaboration between the Kenner Police Department and the community is essential in ensuring the safety and well-being of our residents. Together, we can address concerns, implement effective crime prevention strategies and build trust and mutual respect among all members of our community.
The Kenner Police Department is beefing up our traffic division. As we continue to grow our patrol division, we will also increase our traffic enforcement division. We have recently revamped and upgraded our vehicle speed detection devices. Our officers average 450 citations a month. In March alone, officers handled 227 accidents and issued 618 traffic citations. I understand traffic is a top concern, and my officers are doing their very best to stay on top of this.
On an exciting note, we are thrilled to begin a new training academy later this month. This will be the 5th training academy since I took office in July 2022. I am thrilled to add to our KPD family only enhancing our ability to serve this community.
April is Autism Awareness Month. It’s a time for not only awareness, but for understanding and acceptance. The KPD has recently launched a new program aimed at creating just that. Our “Safe ‘N’ Sound” Program provides crucial support to families and guardians of individuals with mental or physical exceptionalities. This program allows them to register a loved one who has conditions such as Autism, Down Syndrome, Alzheimer’s, etc. This registration equips our officers with essential information enabling them to quickly reunite individuals with their families in the event they wander away from home or school. Our officers are able to facilitate a seamless reunification minimizing stress or anxiety during a potentially distressing situation. Sign up for the “Safe ‘N’ Sound” Program here.
April is also Child Abuse Prevention Month. The KPD is honored to team up with the Children’s Advocacy Center to bring awareness to this critical issue. Each year, we place ‘pinwheels for prevention’ in the front of the Kenner Police Department to show support for this cause. Additionally, in honor of Child Abuse Prevention Month, the Jefferson Children’s Advocacy Center, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that provides direct services to child abuse survivors, has scheduled its 11th annual “Step Up For Children” gala on Friday, April 26 from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. This festive evening will include live entertainment, delicious food and drinks and an auction. Contact CAC Director Erika Dupepe at 504-364-3857 for more information. Tickets can be purchased at jeffersoncac.com
