The Salina City Police Department website serves as an official resource for residents and travelers, offering information on identity theft prevention and daily AMBER ALERT updates. The department also provides access to the sex offender registry and current warrants from the Salina Justice Court.
Department Personnel and Responsibilities
The police department is composed of six sworn officers and two part-time personnel within the records division. Due to the nature of a small rural department, officers manage diverse responsibilities including traffic, investigations, animal control, sex crimes, drugs, and city zoning. Additionally, one officer is dedicated to school resources and DARE programs.
Regional Traffic Enforcement Focus
While Salina may appear quiet to travelers, the intersection of Interstate 70, US Highway 50, and two state highways provides significant enforcement opportunities for the department.
Future Goals and Mission
The department maintains a goal of eventually becoming an accredited department. Officers continue to work toward providing public safety through professional services while protecting the rights of all citizens in the community.
