Tonganoxie Police Department provides year-end Data
The City of Tonganoxie Police Department (TPD) is pleased to provide the data and historical trend information in the chart to the left. We are proud of our Community Policing approach and the engagement we have with our citizens which builds a proactive partnership towards preventing crime and improving public safety. We are also grateful for the opportunity to extend that to the safety of our students as a partnership with U.S.D 464 allows for funding of a full-time School Resource Officer, which allows fosters a supportive learning environment and promotes problem-solving strategies.
Last year, phone and online scam solicitations increased the number of reported thefts in our city, but TPD continues to focus on thorough investigations which lead to the arrest of perpetrators. Our low crime rate primarily relates to our advantage of personally knowing many community members, which fosters mutual trust and cooperation. TPD has more flexibility in addressing specific neighborhood needs, often leading to more effective crime deterrence. We have a strong commitment to equity, robust training, and engaged in multiple community initiatives in 2024. This includes ALERT Active Shooter training at U.S.D. 464, Touch a Police Car, Lead to Read at the grade school, Use of Force Simulator (community demonstrations), High School DUI deterrence (demonstration), and various others.
Congrats to Cpl. Young for receiving the “Officer Of The Year Award” from the VFW!
