The citizens and the community remain the focal point of the Kettering Police Department. Community Relations is responsible for maintaining communication with local youth through school programs, the community through city-wide programs, as well as serving the needs of residents and local business organizations.

The Community Relations Section is under the direct command of the Chief of Police and is led by Lt. Mark Burian. The Community Relations Section consists of four patrol officers who deal with alarm administration, juvenile safety, media contacts, crime prevention and much more. Ann Woolf, Secretary, assists these officers by fielding incoming phone calls, helping out at events sponsored by the section, as well as other administrative duties.
