POLICE RECORDS

(913) 642-5555 Ext. 220

TO REPORT AN EMERGENCY, PLEASE CALL 9-1-1. TO REPORT SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITY OR A CRIME, PLEASE CALL COMMUNICATIONS AT (913) 642-7700.

In a field that relies heavily on documentation, it is the Leawood police records staff, working with computers, copies and staplers, that creates order from the large volume of written and computer reports submitted daily.

The police records staff manages all of these records, insuring that crime reports are submitted to the state, filing copies internally, filling requests for copies of reports and forwarding completed reports to the district attorney's office for the filing of charges against suspects. We are also responsible for taking house watch requests, no parking sign requests, issuing solicitation permits, and copying reports upon request by citizens and/or insurance companies.

REPORTS: If you need a copy of a report, you may contact the Records Unit at 642-5555, ext. 220. You have the option of either coming in person to pick up the report or writing to:

Leawood Police Department
ATTN: RECORDS UNIT
9617 Lee Blvd.
Leawood, KS 66206

Motor vehicle accident reports are also accessible on the Internet. Simply click here Accident Report or use the button on the left side of this page.

All accident reports are open public record. All other reports have restricted public access. The fee for a report is $0.50 per page. You may call to find out how much your report is before requesting a copy. If you are going to mail in a request, you must send a check to cover the fee as well as a self-addressed, stamped envelope.

HOUSE WATCH: If you are going out of town and would like a house watch, you may call 642-5555, ext. 201, during normal business hours; 642-7700 evenings and on weekends; or complete this online house watch request.  Please call at least one day in advance. We will ask for information such as an emergency contact, alarm information, and any person(s) who may be at your residence to do any type of work or to check on things. The house watch will begin on the day you leave. The officers will drive by your residence an average of 3 times per day. If anything looks suspicious, the officer will check it out. When you return home, we ask that you call 642-7700 to cancel your house watch.

TEMPORARY NO PARKING SIGNS: If you plan to have any type of gathering at your home where there will be more than 7 or 8 cars expected, please call 642-5555, ext. 220, to request temporary no-parking signs. This must be done 48 hours in advance, and before noon on Fridays, in order to allow Public Works the time to place the signs. Public Works will come and put the signs up and should return to take them down. There is no cost for this service.

SOLICITATION PERMIT: If you plan to do any type of soliciting within the Leawood city limits, you will need a solicitation permit. You will need to complete an application, and the application must contain the name, address, social security number, and date of birth of each person who will be going door-to-door. After the application is returned to the Records Unit, a criminal history check will be done on each applicant. The permit will then be issued and can be picked up. The permit is valid for 120 days. There is no cost for the permit, but it takes 3 days to process these applications.
