The Kenilworth Police Department is a drop off site for unused prescriptions, expired over-the-counter drugs and needles. Research from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Geological Survey revealed that there are detectable antibiotics and steroidal hormones in rivers, lakes, and wells caused by people flushing their medications down the toilet or putting them down the sink. Additionally, sharps can cause needle-sticks and health issues if thrown away in the garbage or put in the water system.

Residents are asked to leave their medications in the original containers, to black out their personal information, and to place the containers in a sealed plastic bag. Sharps should be placed in a sealed container such as an empty coffee can.

The Police Department has the authority to issue a temporary Handicapped parking placard to an individual with a temporary injury or illness. The placards are good for a maximum of 90 days.

Applicants must meet all state mandated eligibility requirements in addition to submitting an application completed and signed by a licensed physician.

Residents are invited to meet the Police Department employees and to tour the Police facility at our annual Open House. Employees are on hand to answer questions, discuss services, explain programs, display police equipment and provide firearms demonstrations. Refreshments are available and McGruff the crime dog is there to greet the children.

The Reverend Robert K. Myers, PhD, serves the police department and community as the Police Chaplain. He provides counseling and/or referrals to members of the community during times of personal stress and/or crisis upon the request of the police department.

Through the chaplain program, crime victims and witnesses receive the highest level of professional service and assistance consistent with their role in the criminal justice system. The Police Chaplain also is available to provide support to Department members and their immediate families during periods of crisis.

The Police Chaplain maintains a complete and current list of social service agencies that provide services for both adults and youths.

Tours of the police facility for local scouting, school and civic groups are scheduled through the Community Policing Officer or a supervisor.
