Training makes a difference! 🚔

The Arkansas City Police Department was proud to host a training alongside fellow law enforcement agencies!

A HUGE thank you to Christian Corey and Sam Floyd from Insight & Integrity - ixi for providing outstanding training and sharing their knowledge and expertise with our officers.

Continued training ensures our officers stay up to date with the most current and relevant practices, allowing us to continually improve, grow, and provide the highest level of service to the community we proudly serve.

We appreciate Miami County KS Sheriff's Office, Bel Aire Police Department, Independence Kansas Police Department, Winfield Police Department, Emporia Police Department, McPherson County KS Sheriff's Office, and Goddard Police Department for taking the time to attend and invest in continued professional development. It's partnerships and opportunities like these that make us all better!

Thank you to everyone who made this training possible! 👏

Kansas weather is keeping us on our toes! With the potential for severe storms and tornadoes in our area, now is the time to have a plan BEFORE the storms arrive.

A few reminders to help keep you and your family safe:

🏠 Know your safe place! Head to a basement or a small interior room on the lowest level, away from windows.

📱 Have multiple ways to receive weather alerts and keep your phone charged.

👟 Keep shoes, a flashlight, and essential items nearby.

Our officers have been out and about in the community this week, and we’ve got a little bit of everything to share!

Our friends with Meals on Wheels have been a little short-staffed, so our officers stepped in Wednesday to help deliver meals to some of our wonderful community members. We’re always happy to lend a hand, share a smile, and make sure our neighbors are taken care of. ❤️

Our officers were also invited to Francis Willard Elementary for their costume parade, and of course, we couldn’t show up without candy! 🍬👻 We had a blast seeing all the creative costumes and getting to spend some time with these awesome kiddos!

Whether it’s delivering meals or handing out treats, we’re proud to serve our community in more ways than one. 💙

Because being part of this community means showing up for ALL of it! 🫶

Before the calls start rolling in asking, “WHAT IS GOING ON?! 👀” — we wanted to give everyone a quick heads-up!

There will be law enforcement training taking place in the area today, so you can expect to see an increased law enforcement presence throughout the western and southern portions of the county. You may also notice a helicopter operating in the area as part of the training.

THE IMPORTANT PART: There is NO threat to the public. This is planned training, and there is no need for alarm.

We appreciate everyone’s understanding as our law enforcement partners train to stay prepared and ready to serve our communities!

So, if you see additional patrol vehicles or hear a helicopter overhead, now you know!

Stay safe out there, everyone! ❤️💙

This handsome fella was found in the 400 block of W. Cedar and we’re hoping to get him back home where he belongs!

Do you recognize this pup or know who he belongs to? Please send us a message so we can help reunite this sweetie with his family! 🐾

He is wearing a camo collar.

Today, we're giving a little extra love to the one who keeps us all moving in the right direction… our very own Chief Jim Holloway!

Being the Chief means juggling a million things at once, making the tough calls, keeping this crew in line (which we all know is a full-time job 😂), and somehow putting up with all of us along the way.

But seriously, behind the badge and the title is a leader who works hard for this department, supports his team, and helps make ACPD what it is today. We appreciate the time, dedication, and heart you put into serving this department and our community!

So today, Chief, we hope you know how much you're appreciated. Thank you for leading us, believing in us, and putting up with our shenanigans. We promise to try to make your job a little easier… no guarantees, though.

Happy National Boss's Day, Chief Holloway! We're lucky to have you leading the way! ❤️💙

🚨 HEY BESTIES… LET’S NOT DUMP KITTENS. 🐱🙃

Over 20 cats and kittens were dumped, and we have one question… WHY?! 😩

Life happens, and sometimes people find themselves in situations where they can no longer care for an animal. But dumping them is NOT the answer. We have an AMAZING Animal Control Officer who is willing to work with you to find a better solution. Please reach out instead of leaving these babies to fend for themselves!

Now, let's talk about a REAL-LIFE CAT HERO! 🦸‍♀️🐈

Some of the kittens were trapped inside a culvert pipe and, without hesitation, our very own ACO, Erica Petry crawled inside to rescue one of them! She has recovered 20 of those dumped cats and kittens so far and is continuing to work on getting the others to safety. Talk about dedication! 👏🏻❤️

Erica, THANK YOU for going above and beyond for these little lives. Your compassion, determination, and willingness to get down in the trenches (or, in this case, a CULVERT PIPE 😳) do not go unnoticed. We are lucky to have you!

🐾 A HUGE SHOUTOUT TO THE Cowley County Humane Society! 🐾

They stepped up to take in all of these cats and kittens and help get them the care they need. We are incredibly grateful for their partnership and for everything they do for animals in our community!

❤️ WANT TO HELP THESE LITTLE SURVIVORS?

The cats and kittens will hopefully be available for adoption before long, once they're ready! The Cowley County Humane Society is also accepting donations to help cover the cost of caring for all these unexpected little guests. Every bit of support makes a difference!

So, let's remember: animals are not disposable. If you're struggling to care for a pet, please ask for help. There are people willing to work with you, and there are better options than leaving them behind.

And to Erica and the Cowley County Humane Society — THANK YOU for being the kind of humans these little ones needed. 🐾❤️

**This incident occurred at E Street and Spruce Avenue. If you live in the area and have security cameras that may have captured the vehicle involved, please send us a private message or call the Arkansas City Police Department at 620-441-4547.**
