MCPHERSON POLICE DEPARTMENT PUBLIC NOTICE

Due to the winter weather conditions, effective February 18th, 2025, at 5AM, the McPherson KS Police Department has enacted an Emergency Accident Reporting Plan (EARP). For collisions/accidents, other than hit and run, those involving personal injury, involve alcohol or drug impairment, or where vehicles need towing, the McPherson Police Department will NOT respond in person, unless requested. When there is another vehicle involved, both drivers are responsible to move their vehicles off the roadway and exchange contact and insurance information, noting the date, time, location (address or intersection). Any driver involved is responsible to file a report within 48 hours of any collision/accident which qualifies for EARP. When EARP is no longer in effect a notice will go out to the public. If you have any questions, please call the McPherson Police Department at (620) 245-1200.
