The Kennedale Police Department has moved to a “Beat Policing Strategy” to help enhance our community policing efforts. Beat policing has been defined as the “dividing available police officers and resources across an agency’s jurisdiction to ensure timely responses to calls for service and effective crime prevention by dispersing police across wide areas.”
The KPD has now assigned officers to each part of the city each of who is responsible for getting to know that section of the city which includes its uniqueness, its quality of life issues as well as the area’s criminal concerns.
New assignments for each area are:
- Beat 1: Sergeant Andrews & Officer Franklin
- Beat 2: Acting Sergeant Scott & Officer Kjelson
- Beat 3: Corporal Damore, Corporal Major, & Officer Miranda
- Beat 4: Sergeant Heath & Corporal Burns
- Beat 5: Sergeant Yarbrough & Officer Rawls
