Red Fridays are back, Arrowhead is ready, and Chiefs Kingdom is on the move.

While fans bring the noise, KCPD officers are working across Kansas City to manage traffic, support large crowds, respond to emergencies, and help everyone enjoy game day safely.

PFKC is proud to support the equipment, technology, and resources behind that work.

Let’s go, Chiefs!

Big congratulations to our President, Tye Grant, on being named one of Ingram's 50 Missourians You Should Know for 2026.

From leading KCPD's Violent Crimes Division through 26 years on the force to now heading the Police Foundation of Kansas City, Tye has spent his whole career on the same mission: making our city safer for everyone.

This recognition is well earned, and we're proud to have his leadership behind the work.

Every investment tells our officers, "We've got your back."

This Thursday, we're grateful for an anonymous donor whose generous gift is helping provide for the welfare of the KCPD Canine Unit. These highly trained K-9 teams play a vital role in protecting our city, and this investment helps ensure they receive the care, equipment, and support they deserve throughout their service.

Private support like this allows the Police Foundation of Kansas City to fund needs beyond the city's budget and strengthen the resources KCPD relies on every day.

Thank you to this generous donor for making a lasting impact on Kansas City.

While most of Kansas City sleeps, KCPD officers are still answering calls, responding to emergencies, investigating crimes, and serving our community.

Their commitment doesn't end when the workday does. It continues around the clock, every day of the year.

The Police Foundation of Kansas City is proud to support the officers who work tirelessly to help keep Kansas City safe. Through investments in the equipment, technology, and resources they rely on every shift.

The inaugural Brave United Conference brought together public safety foundation leaders from across the country to share ideas, strengthen partnerships and learn from one another.

Beth Phelps and PFKC Board Chair Carolyn Watley attended on behalf of the Police Foundation of Kansas City, joining conversations on board governance, fundraising, grants, wellness initiatives and effective foundation leadership.

They returned to Kansas City with new connections, practical ideas and a renewed commitment to supporting KCPD with innovative tools, training and resources. The conference also affirmed something worth celebrating: PFKC has earned a strong reputation among its peers for helping bring state-of-the-art resources to the women and men who serve Kansas City.

Joyful.

That’s how Police Foundation of Kansas City Board Member Mark Jorgenson described Kansas City’s FIFA World Cup experience at our recent debrief luncheon.

Safety and security were the #1 priority from the start. Chief Stacey Graves shared that KCPD’s goal was simple: wherever people were in Kansas City, they should be able to look around and see an officer nearby, visible, approachable, and ready to help

The result: visible, engaged officers, positive interactions, and visitors who said Kansas City “felt like home.”

The Police Foundation is proud to support KCPD with the resources that help make everyone feel safe in Kansas City.

When the world came to Kansas City, success didn't happen by chance.

Years before the first match, KCPD, city leaders, regional partners, and the Police Foundation of Kansas City were preparing with the technology, equipment, training, and coordination needed to safely host one of the world's largest events.

Our latest blog takes you behind the scenes to show what it really took to prepare Kansas City for FIFA and how those investments continue strengthening KCPD every day.

After more than 29 years with the Kansas City Police Department, four of them as Chief, Stacey Graves is retiring this December.

In a candid conversation, she reflects on the honor of leading KCPD, her confidence in the leaders stepping up behind her, and a department she describes as "set and ready" for whatever comes next.

Her message underscores something every business leader in this city understands: everyone wants to feel safe. Safe communities are the foundation a thriving Kansas City economy is built on, and the daily work of the men and women Chief Graves leaves behind.

Read her reflections in her own words. 👇

KCPD’s canine officers and their handlers take on demanding work that requires extensive training, trust and constant preparation.

From locating explosives and evidence to supporting high-risk responses, these teams provide capabilities that strengthen KCPD’s work across Kansas City.

We thank every canine officer and handler for the discipline, long hours and service behind each call.
