Mr. Matt Golden

Shawnee Police Department

Bio

I have been in law enforcement all my adult life. I started working with the Campus Police department at Kansas City Kansas Community College as a student and then when I became old enough I applied for, and was hired as, a Campus Police Officer with full Kansas police powers including the power of arrest.

After several years, I went to a part-time status as a Campus Police Officer and began working full time as a dispatcher for the Kansas City Kansas Police Department. Later I returned to the Campus Police Department as a full time Officer again. I also worked for the Benton County Sheriff Department, in Warsaw, Missouri, as a Deputy Sheriff for a short time. I was severely injured on duty at the Sheriff's Department and was unable to return to active police duty, so I returned to dispatching where I am today.

Now I work full time as a dispatcher for the Kansas City International Airport Police Department. Not only do we dispatch police officers on the airport, we also actively monitor surveillance cameras strategically placed around the airport. We also monitor door alarms and work closely with the TSA, Homeland Security, FBI and local police departments to monitor and track any of their bad guys that might come thru the airport.

In August 2021, I began employment as a Dispatcher with the Shawnee (KS) Police Department.

I love my job.
