Community Policing

Community policing builds partnerships to prevent crime.

Overland Park community police officers are assigned to specific geographical areas and work proactively with apartment complexes and neighborhood groups to identify and solve problems.

Our community policing officers:

• Offer a variety of programs and security tips to enhance safety at home and at work,
• Speak to neighborhood and apartment groups when requested,
• Provide free residential security surveys,
• Reduce crime, drug use, and gang activity in apartment complexes through the crime-free multi-housing program,
• Proactively problem-solve solutions to community issues,
• and oversee lost and found property.

School resource officers are also a part of the community policing unit.
