February is upon us, and with it comes one of our most exciting seasons in Kenner – Carnival time. As the good times roll, the Kenner Police Department is looking forward to the Krewe of Isis parade on Feb. 14. I invite residents and visitors alike to join us along the route for a fun, family-friendly celebration. Our officers will be out in full force to ensure everyone can enjoy the festivities safely.
I am also proud to announce the launce of P.O.S.T Academy #27. This marks the eights recruit class to begin under my leadership, and it represents another important step in strengthening the future of this department. I commend each of our recruits for taking on this challenge and wish them determination and success as they work toward becoming members of the KPD.
February is also Black History Month – a time to honor diversity, celebrate the many contributions that have helped shape our community, and reaffirm our commitment to equality and respect for all. The Kenner Police Department remains dedicated to upholding the principles of fairness, justice and dignity in all we do.
Later this month, we will once again host our FREE Women’s Self-Defense course from Feb. 23-26. This popular class is designed to empower women with the confidence, awareness and skills needed to protect themselves if faced with a dangerous situation. The course is open to all females 13 and older. Registration is available online at kennerpd.com/wsd-application.
