As a Department, we work everyday to accomplish our mission by engaging with local community groups, schools, churches, and business leaders to make Kentwood a great place to live, visit and work. Events, such as National Night Out, Touch-a-Truck, and Trunk-or-Treat, are just a few of the activities that the Kentwood Police Department engages in to stay connected in our community. In addition, we continually strive to represent the community in which we serve. Programs such as the Kentwood Police Department Youth Academy, Toys for Tots, and ARCH allow our officers to connect with our youth and invest in the future. Continually, the Kentwood Police Department strives to deliver professional police services and address community concerns as they develop.
