Programs & Services

In addition to providing traffic enforcement, crime investigation and emergency response, we offer a variety of community-oriented programs you can participate in.

Active Shooter Response Training

We provide free active shooter response training to Lenexa businesses, churches, civic groups and any other interested organizations. 

Alarm Registration

If you have a home or business alarm system, you must register it with our free online registration system.

Child Car Seat Inspections

Get peace of mind that you've correctly installed your child's car seat by scheduling an inspection from our certified public service officers. Please note, we do not install the car seat for you, but instead inspect and assist with adjustments.

Watch this three-minute video to learn what we look for during a child car seat inspection. For information about child car seats visit the National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration website.

Crime-Resistant Community Partnership

We work with apartments, hotels and storage units to reduce crime and create safe neighborhoods.

Internet safety workshops

People of all ages, from pre-teens to adults, are online now more than ever in order to stay connected with others, do work or school, shop, and more. We offer two different workshops, a general one for adults and one geared toward parents, where you can learn how to stay safe from online dangers and keep your personal data protected.

Fingerprinting

We provide fingerprinting services to Lenexa residents for a small fee.

Gun Locks

We are an active partner with Project Safe Neighborhoods, a nationwide commitment to reducing gun violence and gun crime. It funds programs through Project Childsafe, such as gun lock safety kits. You can pick up a free gun lock at the Lenexa Police Station.

Hiring an off-duty police officer

Off-duty Lenexa police officers may be hired by a private entity to provide security related services.

Neighborhood Block Party Visits

Our officers are sometimes available to visit neighborhood block parties. These requests are considered on a case-by-case basis and are attended by on-duty officers who may need to leave to respond to a call. Availability of attendance is also based on the patrol call load during the requested time. Completion of a request form does not guarantee an officer will appear at your event.

Police Officer Educational Visits

We value the opportunity for community engagement and are available to make educational visits to community groups.

Police Ride-alongs

See what our officers do first-hand through our ride-along program.
