Spotlight Focus:

Welcome KSCPOST Executive Director Mike Brown 

The Commission is pleased to introduce and welcome Mike Brown as our new Executive Director. With over 30 years of experience working alongside Kansas Law Enforcement, Director Brown's dedication to law enforcement professionalism and his approachable demeanor, he will be a great asset to KSCPOST.

Mike Brown began his law enforcement career in 1991 as a part-time officer at Rose Hill PD and shortly afterwards was hired full-time by the Butler County Sheriff’s Office. In 1995 Mike moved back to his hometown of Coffeyville and served on the Coffeyville Police Department for 15 years holding various positions: Patrol Officer, Detective, Tactical Team Leader, Tactical Team Commander, and Division Commander (Deputy Chief) over both Investigations and Patrol. In 2011, Mike was selected as the Police Chief of Sidney Nebraska and served in that capacity until 2013, when family medical issues necessitated a move back to the SE Kansas area. At that time, Mike was hired by a privately owned company that offers public safety software (CAD/RMS/JMS), initially working as a sales rep for four years and then promoted to the Team Manager role for the last eight years. In 2022, Mike recertified as a Kansas law enforcement officer and has worked as a part-time Administrative Captain for the Coffeyville Police Department. Mike holds a Bachelor of Science degree from Wichita State University, is a graduate of KLETC (130th Basic Class) and the FBI National Academy (#235th Session) and has completed the FBI-LEEDA Trilogy courses.

“I am incredibly excited and honored to join the KSCPOST Team and contribute to the great work and foundation that has been laid. The function of KSCPOST is perfectly summed up in our motto: Integritatis Ac Veritates Defensores - Defenders of Integrity of Truth. The mission of KSCPOST is to partner with Kansas law enforcement agencies and other stakeholders to ensure that we are, not only fielding the absolute finest men and women into the most sacred of professions, but ensuring they continually receive high quality, relevant training so that we, as a community, are constantly increasing the level of professionalism within Kansas law enforcement. This ongoing mission is a partnership between not only KSCPOST and Kansas law enforcement agencies, but also KLETC, KACP, KPOA, KSA, KCJIS, legislators at the State and National levels and the citizens of Kansas, who ultimately bestow law enforcement authority and power to us.” -Mike Brown

Commission Chairperson Brandon Johnson had this to say about hiring Director Brown, ““I am excited to welcome Director Brown to the KSCPOST. Director Brown brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the role, and I am confident he will help us continue the work of ensuring that Kansas Law Enforcement is equipped with the skills and tools necessary to provide exemplary professional service to our great State.”
