A Word from the Chief

It is an honor and a rare privilege to serve the citizens of Kelso and men and women of the Kelso Police Department as Chief.

We have worked hard to earn and maintain the community's trust and respect by providing quality caring law enforcement services. Kelso Police officers and support staff are dedicated professionals and I am proud to represent each and every one of them.

I promise to do my best to model and promote good working relationships throughout the community, the city government, and the department based on honesty, integrity, and effective communication.
