Arrested in Kenneth City? All Pinellas County bookings process through the Pinellas County Jail. We connect you with licensed local bondsmen.
Kenneth City has its own police department (KCPD) serving this small municipality in southern Pinellas County. All arrests transport to the Pinellas County Jail in Clearwater, about 15 minutes north. KCPD operates from 4600 58th Street North.
54th Avenue North is the primary east-west commercial corridor running through the town. The strip malls and businesses along this route generate the bulk of retail theft, property crime, and accident response. KCPD is highly visible along this corridor, maintaining strict speed enforcement.
Kenneth City is essentially an enclave, completely surrounded by the City of St. Petersburg and unincorporated Lealman. Cross-jurisdictional issues are constant. A suspect fleeing down 54th Avenue will quickly cross into St. Pete PD or Pinellas Sheriff jurisdiction. The agencies coordinate heavily via mutual aid.
The town is extremely dense, consisting largely of mid-century single-family homes and apartment complexes. The dense population in a very small geographic area (less than 1 square mile) means KCPD officers know the neighborhoods intimately and prioritize proactive community policing over reactive response.
The Pinellas County Clerk at (727) 464-7000 handles case lookups. The 6th Circuit covers Pinellas and Pasco. The Pinellas County Justice Center is adjacent to the jail. Because of its location in central Pinellas, the booking process for Kenneth City arrests is fast.
Kenneth City is regionally famous for its uncompromising speed enforcement on 54th Avenue North and 46th Avenue North. KCPD maintains a zero-tolerance policy for traffic violations, which serves as both a revenue source and a strong deterrent against transient crime entering the city from the surrounding St. Petersburg neighborhoods. The visible police presence is a major selling point for residents.
Surety bonds (10% non-refundable premium) and cash bonds are accepted. Bonding agents must be registered with the Pinellas County Clerk of Court. Call (941) 477-6888 to reach a registered Pinellas County bondsman who can post at the facility.
All arrests in these cities are processed through the county jail. The booking and bail process described above applies to every one of them.
