It is my honor to proudly serve the citizens of Kelso as the Chief of Police. I began my law enforcement career with Kelso Police Department in 1995 and I have had the fortunate opportunity to serve in nearly every function of our police department during my career and work with an amazing group of honorable individuals who embrace this very demanding, ever-changing and difficult profession. Our goal is to provide exemplary police services to our community. Our police department prioritizes customer service and ensures those we serve are provided with access to every law enforcement resource available to them in an effort to address their individual needs.
We are a progressive police department that focuses on enhancing our response through new and improved practices, technology, education and opportunities that result in improved services to our community. We know transparency and community involvement is crucial to earning and maintaining public trust, which is why we continue to focus on developing and maintaining strong relationships with our community partners and organizations.
Our intentional efforts to detect, identify and proactively address threats to public safety are intended to ensure Kelso remains a safe and pleasant community for everyone to visit, work, play and live.
