🚧 Police Department Entrance Construction 🚧

Construction is currently underway at the entrance to the Warrensburg Police Department. The construction area includes our handicap-accessible parking spaces, which means those spaces will be unavailable during the construction period.

The front entrance may also be more difficult to access during this time. This may impact those needing to walk in to the Records Department, make a walk-in report, or access the building for other services, in addition to individuals who require handicap-accessible access.

The Police Department remains open and available to the public. However, contacting us by phone or email may be easier for some individuals while this work is underway.

Construction is expected to continue for approximately two weeks. We appreciate your patience and understanding as this work is completed.

Congratulations, Major Fidler!

The Warrensburg Police Department is incredibly proud to celebrate Major Fidler on his graduation from the FBI National Academy, Class 299!

This is a tremendous milestone and an incredible accomplishment in Major Fidler’s law enforcement career. The National Academy brings together law enforcement leaders from across the country for an intensive program focused on leadership, professional development, and continued excellence in the field.

We’re especially proud to see Major Fidler representing WPD on this national stage—and what a way to commemorate the occasion! Major Fidler is pictured here with FBI Director Kash Patel and Shaquille O’Neal, who was also honored as a graduate of Class 299.

Major Fidler, congratulations on this well-deserved achievement! We are proud of you and excited to see the continued impact you’ll make here at WPD. Well done, Major! 👮‍♂️

🚨 SCAM ALERT 🚨

The Warrensburg Police Department has received reports of a scam involving someone spoofing our phone number and calling citizens claiming they have missed court or jury duty.

The scammer may then send a text message or email containing a supposed “signed subpoena” or other proof. Do NOT download or open these attachments — they may contain a virus or other malicious software.

👉 This is NOT the Warrensburg Police Department.

As a reminder, legitimate jury duty and court notifications are sent through the mail. The Warrensburg Police Department will not call you demanding payment or send you a downloadable subpoena or court document via text or email.

If you receive a suspicious call, text, or email, do not provide personal or financial information and do not open any attachments or links. When in doubt, contact the Warrensburg Police Department or the appropriate court directly using a verified phone number.
