The much anticipated
completion of the new Shoal Creek Patrol Division station occurred with a
ribbon-cutting ceremony on December 1, 2006.
Chief of Police James Corwin officiated at this event, which was the
culmination of years of planning and development and could not have taken place
without the support of the citizens of Kansas City.
The tremendous expansion of
residential and business areas throughout the Northland dictated the need for
more police officers. Although their new
home is now complete, the men and women assigned to Shoal Creek have been hard
at work in a temporary facility at the Antioch Mall for nearly two years. During this time, they’ve created strong
relationships with neighborhood and business associations to develop
problem-solving strategies that address mutual needs and concerns.
The Shoal Creek Patrol
Division covers the eastern half of the Northland and is approximately 75
square miles, with an estimated population of 65,000. Several areas of importance that fall within
the boundaries of Shoal Creek include: Worlds of Fun, Ameristar Casino, the
Hunt Midwest Sub-Tropolis, several large retail/dining complexes, such as the
Antioch Shopping Center, and those located at I-35 & 152 Highways, and I-35
& Chouteau Trafficway.
There are over 25
jurisdictions in the Northland area, which creates a unique opportunity for
interaction and cooperation with adjoining agencies. Additionally, the vast area in the Northland
requires innovative community oriented policing tactics. Shoal Creek has been successful in
establishing high quality police service, while using the smallest contingent
of police officers of any patrol division within the city. This is accomplished by focusing on Community
Policing, with an emphasis on customer service.
On behalf of the men and
women assigned to Shoal Creek, I invite you to partner with us in creating a
safer future for the Northland.
