🏆 BATTLE OF THE BADGES KICKBALL CHAMPIONS - Topeka Police Department! 🚔🚨

Badges, bragging rights, and a whole lot of kickball fun! The 2026 Battle of the Badges brought out the competitive spirit for an incredible cause!

The Topeka Police Department (TPD) kicked its way to victory at the 2026 Battle of the Badges Kickball Tournament, claiming the championship title and earning bragging rights as this year's KICKBALL CHAMPS! 🥇👏

Held on Saturday, October 11, at Hayden Catholic High School, this exciting event brought together approximately six teams representing the Topeka Police Department, Topeka Fire Department, Shawnee County Sheriff's Office, Kansas Highway Patrol, Shawnee County District Attorney’s Office, and County Department of Corrections, along with some incredible Special Olympics Kansas athletes! 💙

The afternoon was packed with friendly competition, teamwork, laughter, and community spirit! A silent auction and raffle added to the festivities, along with special appearances by two familiar Kansas McDonald's characters — the Hamburglar and Grimace! 🍔💜🎟️

💰🌟 THE BIGGEST WIN OF THE DAY? MORE THAN $10,000 RAISED! 🌟💰

Thanks to the outstanding generosity and support of everyone involved, the event raised an incredible $10,000+ for the Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics Kansas! 🔥🏅

A HUGE thank you to Glory Days Pizza, Hayden High School, event organizers, sponsors, participating agencies, volunteers, athletes, and everyone who came out to support this fantastic cause! Your generosity and enthusiasm helped make this event a tremendous success! 👏

While TPD may have taken home the championship trophy, the real winners were the amazing Special Olympics Kansas athletes who inspire us every day! 🏆❤️

Until next year's rematch … TPD is keeping those bragging rights! 😉🚔

The Topeka Police Department is joining law enforcement agencies across Kansas for a statewide Speed Enforcement campaign, October 8–19, 2026, reminding drivers to slow down, obey posted speed limits and make safety a priority! 🚗

📊 Did you know? According to a Kansas Department of Transportation report, 181 of the 3,377 crashes reported in 2024 for Topeka were speed-related, accounting for approximately 5.4% of all reported crashes.

⚠️ Speeding reduces reaction time, increases stopping distances and makes crashes more severe.

✅ Obey posted speed limits.
✅ Stay alert and avoid distractions.
✅ Adjust your speed for road, traffic and weather conditions.

Driving faster doesn't mean arriving safer! 🛑

Let's work together to keep Topeka's roadways safe. Slow down, drive responsibly and help save lives! 💙
