Kalispell, MT — In response to recent demonstrations and anticipated gatherings in the city, we
want to address the planned protests this weekend in Kalispell.
The right to peacefully assemble and express one's views is a cornerstone of our democracy. The
Kalispell Police Department respects and upholds this fundamental right, and we are here to
ensure that all voices can be heard in a safe and lawful environment.
While the department supports lawful demonstrations, unlawful behavior will not be tolerated.
We want to be absolutely clear —while we fully support peaceful protest, we will not allow
actions that endanger public safety, threaten property, or violate the law. Our officers are
committed to maintaining peace and will respond appropriately to any illegal activity.
The Kalispell Police Department is actively working with event organizers and community
leaders to ensure that any planned events proceed safely and respectfully.
We encourage everyone to exercise their rights responsibly and respectfully. Our number one
priority is, and always will be, the safety of our community.
The Kalispell Police Department remains committed to transparency, fairness, and community
trust. Citizens with questions or concerns are encouraged to contact the department directly.
