On behalf of the Kirby Police Department and all of our employees, we want to thank you for interest in our organization and welcome you to our web page. We hope you will find the information you need here and encourage you to contact us if you need anything additional.
The Kirby Police Department was formed in 1968. The new Department started with a Police Chief and three patrolmen. Fifty years later, the Department has grown to more than 20 employees and is comprised of the following sections:
Administration
Police detectives spend much of their time compiling information and evidence for the cases they are assigned. They wear plain clothes and drive unmarked cars. A police detective requires more experience and knowledge, so they usually hold a higher skill level than a normal police officer.
The patrol section is made up of nine officers and is supervised by two Patrol Sergeants. He/she is assisted by two Corporals who act as shift supervisors. The seven additional patrol officers who, along with the Sergeants, handle the day-to-day police activities like, traffic enforcement, neighborhood patrols. They are usually the first to arrive on a scene and the last to leave.
The Code Enforcement Officer is a certified police officer who works primarily with the City’s Code of Ordinances. He/she is responsible for everything from yard maintenance and landscaping to junk vehicles and abandoned buildings.
We realize that our sole purpose is to provide a safe community environment for the people who not only call Kirby home, but also shop, visit, or travel through our City. The Kirby Police Department prides itself on our ability to be pro-active in our service along with our reactive capabilities.
As your Chief of Police, I am committed to accountability at all levels, respect and honest communication with the community, and a desire to work with members of the public to enhance the quality of life that makes the City of Kirby such a unique place to live, work, and visit. Again, welcome to the Kirby Police Department web page. I hope you enjoy your visit.
Warmest regards,
Chief Roxanne Cardona
