POLICE RECORDS

(913) 642-5555 Ext. 220

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 regulates and 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 watches, no parking sign requests, issuance of solicitation permits, and copying of reports upon request by citizens and/or insurance companies.

If you are going out of town and would like a house watch, you should call 642-5555, ext. 201, or complete this online house watch request.  We ask that you call at least one day in advance. We will ask for information such as an emergency contact, alarm information, and any persons 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.

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 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.

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 90 days. There is no cost for the permit, but it takes 3 days to process these applications.

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 Dept.
