Kannapolis is a city in Cabarrus County northeast of Charlotte with about 53,000 residents. KPD operates from 401 Laureate Way and serves the city with patrol, investigations, and community programs. Kannapolis does not have its own jail, so all KPD arrests go to the Cabarrus County Jail, which the county sheriff's office runs.
