Mission Statement:

The Knoxville Police Department is committed to enhancing the quality of life in Knoxville by fostering trust and collaboration with the community. Through proactive policing, crime prevention, and public safety education, KPD strives to build a safer and more united city within Tennessee State Roleplay (FiveM).

As Chief of Police, I’m proud to lead the men and women of the Knoxville Police Department; people who show up every day with dedication, integrity, and a genuine desire to make a difference.

Our goal is simple: to keep Knoxville safe while building real trust with the people we serve. We’re here to protect, but also to listen, to learn, and to work side-by-side with our community. I believe the best policing happens when officers and residents know each other, respect each other, and share the same goal—a safer, stronger city for everyone.

I encourage you to explore our site and see the work our team is doing, the programs we’re building, and the ways you can get involved. Together, we can continue moving Knoxville in a positive direction.

Thank you for your trust and support. Please don't hesitate to reach out anytime; we’re here to serve.

Sincerely,

Chief John Winters

Knoxville Police Department
