Karl Oakman was sworn in as the next police chief for Kansas City, Kansas, Monday morning. Oakman, 51, who most recently served as a deputy chief across the state line in the Kansas City Police Department, said he was ready to roll up his sleeves and start listening to the department and the community. “This is a very important honor for me not just as chief of police, but to return home to a city that raised me and kept me safe in this community,” Oakman told the small crowd gathered Monday, which included members of his family.
