The Park Hills Police Department consists of thirteen full time police
officers and several part-time officers. The police department is headed by Chief William D. Holloway,
a 35 year veteran to law enforcement. We patrol over 60 miles of city roadways and cover approximately
20 square miles. The police department is very community oriented and takes an active approach to law
enforcement by educating local youth about the dangers of drug abuse, domestic violence, and stranger danger
as well as promoting positive community activities. All of these programs have proven
to be extremely valuable to the community.
