Gen PD

With an average age of 26, the young officers of Mesa PD have helped shape the department into the industry-leading, forward-looking, and innovative leader it has become. Tag along with 5 young officers at the lake on their day off as they discuss the future of policing and why they decided to make their mark at Mesa PD.

It all starts at the top and Chief Ken Cost is both leading by example and an example of effective leadership. His 27 years at Mesa PD have formed his leadership style into a mix of individual empowerment, personal accountability, and a strong desire to elevate the community through an effective police department. His passion for this city and his love of this department are tangible.
