Spotlight Focus:
Roster Verification Part II
Looking back at the April 2024 spotlight, this serves as part two of our discussion on roster verification—an important and timely topic. This month, we’re highlighting KSCPOST’s annual practice of verifying agency active rosters.
Each year, we mail a list of full-time and part-time law enforcement officers to agency heads, requesting that they or their designee confirm its accuracy. If discrepancies are found, we ask that the necessary forms be submitted promptly. With approximately 425 law enforcement agencies and 8,350 officers in Kansas, this process is a significant but essential undertaking—especially as we approach the final quarter of the 2025 training year. Annual roster verification helps agencies prevent future issues with training reports or extension requests while also allowing us to update agency contact information, benefiting several law enforcement associations.
In April 2024, we emphasized the importance of returning the roster verification forms, along with any necessary additions or separation forms. Historically, compliance rates ranged between 50-60%, but we are pleased to report that last year, we achieved *100% compliance. However, this milestone came with an asterisk—we personally contacted nearly 100 of the 425 agencies to ensure compliance.
Agency administrators, if you haven’t yet received your roster verification in the mail, you will soon. Even if no changes are needed, please confirm by fax or email to let us know the roster is accurate.
As always, if we can assist in any way, don’t hesitate to reach out.
