Operation Z.E.R.O. (Zero Tolerance Enforcement for Roadway Offenders)Saturation Patrol

On Saturday June 6th, 2026 Officers with the Coffeyville Police Department participated in a saturation patrol specifically looking for speed violations, seatbelt violations, impaired drivers and taking them off our roadways. During this enforcement additional officers were assigned to seek out aggressive driving and those suspected impaired drivers.

A total of 23 traffic stops were conducted between the hours of 7:00 PM to midnight. 19 traffic warnings were issued. 6 traffic citations were issued, and 2 additional arrests were made for driving without a license, and driving while suspended/revoked.

We are happy to report CPD Officers did not locate anyone driving under the influence in this specific enforcement window. This program is funded by a grant issued to the Coffeyville Police Department by the Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT), and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

In Kansas, the summer season is a battle against the "Fatal Three": impairment, speed, and lack of restraint. While overall crashes can happen to anyone, fatalities are often a choice of behavior.

• The Seasonal Spike: We are currently entering the "100 Deadliest Days" (Memorial Day to Labor Day). In Kansas, this window accounts for nearly 38% of all teen driving deaths.

• The Seatbelt Survival Gap: This is the most staggering statistic: while 97% of people who walk away from Kansas crashes were buckled, nearly half (47–50%) of those who die were not.

• The Lethality of Speed: Speeding isn't just a "fast way to travel"; it contributes to nearly 30% of all traffic deaths nationally. In Kansas, the physical force of a crash—and your chance of dying—doubles for every 10 mph you travel over 50 mph.

• The DUI Factor: Alcohol remains a factor in roughly 1 in 3 fatal crashes during the summer. In a recent year, alcohol-impaired driving led to over 1,100 injuries in Kansas alone.

Today, we remember and honor the heroes of D-Day.

On June 6, 1944, Allied forces stormed the beaches of Normandy in the largest air and seaborne invasion in history. Their courage, sacrifice, and determination changed the course of World War II and helped secure the freedoms we cherish today.

We will never forget the bravery of those who fought- and those who gave all on that pivotal day.

If you had a friend, neighbor, or family member serve, please leave a comment. We want to remember and honor their service to a very grateful nation.

Today we honor the service of Night Officer William Kime who succumbed to gunshot wounds he received when he and another officer attempted to arrest three men at the Missouri Pacific depot in Coffeyville on April 20, 1898 at 3:30 am.

The men were wanted for attacking a citizen with stones and revolvers. As they attempted to arrest the men, Officer Kime was shot. He died from his wounds at his home two days later.

The suspects were apprehended. One was never tried. The other two were convicted of second-degree murder. One was sentenced to 25 years and the other to 20. The one sentenced to 20 years was pardoned by Governor Edward Koch on October 22, 1908.

SEAT BELT CAMPAIGN FOCUSES ON CONSEQUENCES OF NOT WEARING A SEAT BELT

Memorial Day marks the beginning of warmer weather, outdoor activities and weekend trips increasing traffic on Kansas roadways. The Coffeyville Police Department reminds the public to avoid dangerous consequences and buckle up.

Coffeyville Police Department joins law enforcement across the country to remind drivers to Click It or Ticket. Drivers can expect to see increased law enforcement presence on local roads during the nationwide safety campaign, which runs from May 17- June 1.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, buckling up helps keep occupants safe and secure inside a vehicle, while failing to wear a seat belt can result in ejection during a crash- an outcome that is almost always deadly.

Seat belts are one of the safest choices drivers and passengers can make. Consider these safety tips:
🚨The right seat belt matters. The shoulder belt should lay flat across the middle of your chest and away from your neck.
🚨 The lap belt should fit across your hips, not your stomach.
🚨 Never put the shoulder belt behind your back or under your arm.
🚨 Children should be secured in age and size appropriate restraints until they are old enough and large enough for adult seat belts.

Today we honor the service of Deputy US Marshall Frank Dalton who was shot and killed on Sunday, November 27, 1888 while attempting to arrest a horse thief in Indian Territory (Oklahoma) near the Arkansas River.

The following week the suspect shot and killed Deputy US Marshal Ed Stokley as he and a posse attempted to arrest the man. The suspect was shot and killed by another posse member after shooting Deputy Marshal Stokley.

Deputy US Marshal Dalton had served with the agency for 3 years and is buried in Elmwood Cemtery, Coffeyville.

Deputy US Marshal Dalton was the older brother of Bob, Grat, Emmett and Bill Dalton. Bob and Grat Dalton had served as Deputy United States Marshals in the Indian Territory (Oklahoma) but later turned to crime, forming the Dalton Gang.

Bob and Grat were killed in the Coffeyville bank robbery on October 5, 1892, in which the City Marshall Charles T. Connelly was killed, and Emmett was captured. Bill Dalton was involved in the killing of three officers in Ingalls, Oklahoma in September, 1893. He was later killed by officers near Ardmore, Oklahoma, in June, 1894.

Ironically, Marshall Daltons' criminal brothers are buried 100 feet away from him (in background).

Lest we forget.
