The Independence Police Department is dedicated to providing the citizens of Independence with professional, progressive law enforcement. Our goal is to train our staff to provide these services in a manner that reflects the proficiency which is incumbent of today’s law enforcement agencies. We serve the citizens of our city and provide assistance to other jurisdictions when a request is made from a representative official from that area. Our agency also provides extensive training to other agencies throughout the region. By providing this training we are able to assist multiple agencies, with emphasis placed on smaller agencies that may otherwise be unable to provide training resources for their officers. This has a cyclical effect that benefits all citizens within the region.
