Changing the culture of the Wichita Police Department is a top priority for both candidates for the city’s top law enforcement job. But the two chief finalists have different plans for how to achieve that goal. The city of Wichita had placed a gag order on the two police chief candidates — Mario R. Knapp and Joseph P. Sullivan — but lifted it the day after an Eagle column criticized the city’s lack of transparency. In exclusive interviews with The Eagle, the two candidates fielded questions for more than an hour each about their visions for the police department, troubles within the Wichita Police Department, transparency and their own controversies.
