About Us

The Arkansas City Police Department provides a wide range of police services to the community 24 hours a day, seven days a week.  

The department is authorized to staff 27 full-time sworn police officers and 4 non-sworn staff members.

Sworn officers perform police services that include patrolling, answering calls for service, traffic enforcement, criminal investigations, traffic crash investigations, and a host of public service activities.  

Non-sworn staff members provide the department with administrative assistance, records management, and property/evidence storage.  

Our department prioritizes community interaction, following a community-oriented policing philosophy. Through this approach, we have cultivated robust partnerships with schools, faith-based communities, civic organizations, businesses, and citizens.

We firmly believe that crime prevention is a collective effort within the community. As the Police Department, we see our role as providing the information necessary to empower citizens to actively participate in reducing both crime and traffic crashes.

Every member of the Arkansas City Police Department is committed to our Values, Mission, and Promise.
