100 years ago today, on June 15, 1922, the Kenton County Police Department became official. We are honored to still be serving and protecting Kenton County. Thank you to everyone who has been a part of our journey. Here’s to the next 100 years of our #TraditionofExcellence

We are proud to serve the Kenton County community, including our youngest members! Thanks to Officer Huhn for creating this special memory.

In our 100 year history of #excellence, we’ve had 13 police chiefs. Our first was Chief Froelicher who led two officers with motorcycles (no patrol cars yet!). Now, Chief Jones leads a team of 37 sworn personnel. We’ll continue sharing our history as we celebrate our centenary.
