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 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.
As we welcome the month of July, I hope everyone is enjoying a safe and memorable summer with family and friends. This time of year brings vacations, outdoor activities and celebrations, but it also serves as an important reminder that safety should always remain a top priority. With school out for the summer, our neighborhoods are filled with children riding bicycles, playing outdoors and enjoying summer break. Please slow down, eliminate distractions while driving, and remain alert, especially in residential areas. A few extra seconds of caution behind the wheel can help prevent a tragedy.
We will soon be approaching the heart of hurricane season. While we all hope for a quiet few months, preparedness is essential. The Kenner Police Department continues to review emergency plans, conduct training and coordinate with our local and regional partners to ensure we are ready to respond should severe weather impact our community. I encourage every resident to take the time now to review your family’s emergency plan, stock up on essential supplies, and stay informed through trusted weather sources.
As Independence Day nears, many families will gather to celebrate with fireworks. While exciting, they can also be dangerous when handled improperly. I strongly encourage you to leave the fireworks displays to trained professionals. Your fingers, hands and eyebrows wil thank you.
I am proud to share that the KPD recently welcomed 10 new officers to the family. These men and women have chosen a profession centered on service, sacrifice and commitment to others. We are excited to see them begin their careers and join our mission of protecting and serving the residents of Kenner.
Finally, I urge you to sign up for our next Citizen’s Police Academy. This FREE 10-week course educates citizens on how law enforcement operated. Topics covered include criminal investigations, computer forensics, crime scene and a variety of other topics. You will also have the opportunity to tour our jail, meet our K9’s demonstrations and participate in a ride- along. Classes begin Aug. 19, 2026.
