Get NotifiedAbout the Kalispell Police Department
The Kalispell Police Department serves the county seat of Flathead County in northwest Montana. Kalispell is the largest city in the region and the commercial hub for the Flathead Valley, which includes Whitefish and Columbia Falls. The city's proximity to Glacier National Park and Flathead Lake draws significant seasonal tourism. The KPD works closely with the Flathead County Sheriff's Office, which maintains both a public jail roster and a public warrant list online. The Flathead Beacon newspaper provides detailed daily police blotter coverage for the Flathead Valley.
Kalispell sits at the center of the Flathead Valley search cluster, so this page needs to compete both for pure Kalispell queries and for users comparing city and county public-safety resources.
