The Records Unit is primarily responsible for receiving, processing and retaining a wide variety of police reports and records, in accordance with applicable laws.
The Detention Unit is a short term holding facility with 12 beds. Inmates are held only long enough for them to post bond, or in the case of 24-hour investigative holds, until the investigator assigned to their case completes the investigation.
The Property and Supply Unit is responsible for both recovered property and evidence processing and retention, and supplies for the Police Department and the City of Raytown. The Property and Supply Unit is currently staffed by a Property/Supply Technician.
The Raytown Chief of Police is the Director of Emergency Preparedness for the City of Raytown, and Support Division Captain is the Coordinator.
