We don't like rumors. Please don't spread them. If you are telling people that the Nat. Guard is going to impose Martial Law, please stop. It's not true. They are busy being helping distribute medical supplies. Please and thank you. #COVID19 #kckpd #commonsense #norumors

This portrait of fallen Fairway, Kan. Officer Jonah Oswald is by artist Johnny Castro. He creates portraits of fallen officers free of charge to the family. And just like that, a little bit of our faith in humanity is renewed. #neverforgotten

Helen, a 79 yr old, lifelong KCK resident called the Chief today to say "I've been around a long time, & I decided today was the day I was gonna call & let you know that the police in KCK right now are the best I've ever seen." We're humbled & will work hard to do you proud Helen.

It’s #rumorcontrol take 2. Despite what your neighbor’s cousin’s barber said his uncle who used to be a security guard for some high ranking government official, said- you will not need a piece of paper from your boss to get to work tomorrow. #norumors #kckpd #COVID19

Hey, you who think you are driving slow enough, or your truck won't slide on the ice, or you are such a great driver that you can maneuver slick streets. Guess what? You aren't, it will and you can't. SLOW IT DOWN FOLKS. We have 11 active accidents right now. Slow it down.

During Thurs. snowstorm Officers Wheeler & Dessert rescued this Husky & a friend from an offramp & delivered them safely to Animal Services. This pup couldn’t walk because her paws were caked in snow & ice. Doesn’t matter the breed, this weather is dangerous to man & beast.

5 year old Rayne didn’t have anybody come to his birthday party, so West Patrol Shift 2 stopped by w/ gifts and sang happy birthday to him. He was too shy and hid under the table. His brother Romeo was more than willing to sit at the head of the table and blow out the candles.

#KCKPD #communitypolicing was picking up trash when a mom stopped to share concerns about her 9yr old’s behavioral issues. She thought this type of work would do him good so she left him for 30 min. to help officers. Hard work & some ❤️2❤️convo did everyone some good.

Consider taking a rest from running around looking for bread and hand sanitizer - give stores a chance to restock. Instead, take a cue from man’s best friend - cozy up on the couch and watch a movie or binge your favorite tv show. #COVID19
