Chief Conley and members of the Kenner Police Department had a wonderful time visiting the Pre-K 4 students at St Catherine of Siena !

Our officers talked with the students about safety, showed off our really cool drone, and brought along a very special guest—K9 Z**i! Z**i, of course, was the star of the show, and the kids were absolutely thrilled!

The students came prepared with plenty of fantastic questions, curiosity, and enthusiasm. Their excitement made this visit extra special for our officers! Chief Conley even swore them all in as official crimefighters, and the students received a special message from our dispatchers over the radio wishing them a happy and safe Halloween.

We love opportunities like these to connect with our youngest community members, help them learn about staying safe, and show them that police officers are here to help.

A big thank-you to St. Catherine of Siena School for welcoming us!

Chief Conley and the Kenner Police Department were proud to join neighborhoods across our city for National Night Out Against Crime!

From block parties to backyard gatherings, our officers had a fantastic time getting out of the patrol cars, meeting residents, and enjoying some good old-fashioned community time.

National Night Out is about more than taking a stand against crime—it’s about building relationships and getting to know the people behind the badges. It’s a great opportunity for residents to meet the officers who protect and serve them every day, ask questions, share concerns, and simply get to know one another.

And let’s not forget the neighbors! National Night Out is a great reminder that strong neighborhoods start with neighbors who know and look out for each other. When the City of Kenner comes together, we send a powerful message: 𝐰𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐝, 𝐰𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐰𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐨𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐠𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐭 𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐦𝐞.

And we have to mention all the FOOD! From grills fired up to tables filled with delicious homemade dishes and treats, Kenner’s neighborhoods definitely know how to throw a party 🌭 🍕

A huge thank-you to all of the Kenner residents who opened their neighborhoods to us and helped make National Night Out a success!
