Weekly Police Blotter

The purpose of sharing our blotter is to show citizens where and when crime is occurring in the city. Therefore, this only contains calls for service that were of high significance, criminal in nature, and/or resulted in an arrest. KPD responds to a multitude of calls for service every day, and this is just a fraction of them. Some information may be removed from the call summaries to protect victims who have formally requested to keep their information confidential.
