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.

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.
October is always a great month in Kenner. Cooler weather brings more people outside, families are busy with fall activities and neighborhoods come alive with events and traditions that give us another opportunity to connect as a community.
At the Kenner Police Department, we often talk about the importance of partnerships. Keeping Kenner safe is not something law enforcement accomplishes alone. It happens when residents know their neighbors, look out for one another, report suspicious activity and feel comfortable reaching out to the officers who serve their community.
That spirit of partnership will be on full display during National Night Out Against Crime on Tuesday, Oct. 6. Our officers and I look forward to visiting neighborhoods, meeting residents, answering questions and hearing directly from you. These conversations matter. Some of the best relationships we build begin with something as simple as sitting down together at a local gathering.
October also brings Halloween and plenty of excitement for our youngest residents. As families prepare for trick-or-treating, I ask everyone – especially drivers – to be more cautious. Slow down in neighborhoods, expect children to be near roadways, keep costumes visible, use flashlights or reflective materials, and make sure younger children are accompanied by a trusted adult. A few extra seconds of patience and awareness can make all the difference.
This month we will also host our final Women’s Self-Defense course of the year, Oct. 26-29. This free program is one of the many ways we work to give members of our community practical tools to protect themselves and feel more confident in a dangerous situation.
As we head into the final months of 2026, I want our residents to know that the men and women of the KPD remain committed to being visible, accessible and proactive. If something does not look right, call us. If you have a concern in your neighborhood, talk to us. And if you see one of our officers out in the community, introduce yourself.
Stay safe, enjoy the fall season, and have a happy Halloween.
