Welcome to the official website of the Lawrence Police Department. The men and women of the Department who serve and protect you on a daily basis are proud of their accomplishments and hope this site will provide you with an overview of our operations.

The Lawrence Police Department is committed to reducing crime in all sectors of our community. We work in close partnership with the community, city government leaders, and other law enforcement agencies to attain this goal.

Only through an open exchange of information can we better serve our citizens. We know that building and maintaining the community's trust is the key element in abating crime in our city. No amount of technology can replace the value of citizens sharing information with their local law enforcement officers.

Our ultimate goal is to constantly keep this site updated with the latest information that may be of interest to you. We want you to visit the site often. Please feel free to contact us with your concerns, interests, and suggestions.

John J. Romero
