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 department also maintains our own 24-hour dispatch center, and we are a primary safety answering point that receives and dispatches emergency 911 services to nearly 65% of the citizens of Montgomery County with an average of 15,000 calls per year.
