Karl Oakman was sworn in as Kansas City, Kansas Police Department chief early last summer, and since then he’s made a lot of changes and made good on a promise. Late Saturday morning, Oakman met with about 200 community activists and residents for a short “peace walk,” something Oakman said has been a priority since he was sworn in. He said the purpose of the walk was to bring residents and police officers together and kick off a handful of crime reduction initiatives, which will debut in the spring and summer. “I’ve always been a person based on action, so I thought it was important to see it visually, the community and peace coming together,” Oakman said.
