Topekans met with the city for the second time to say what they hope to see in the next police chief. The City of Topeka held its second of three input sessions for the community to say what they would like to see in the next police chief. The City Manager offered three available times throughout this week and into the weekend, as well as an online survey to try and reach as many people as the city can. These sessions and survey let people voice their opinions on what they would like to see in the police chief to help better the community. Many community members showed up to speak on what they would like to see with the common themes surrounding clarity, transparency, and inclusiveness interaction. “I’m just here out of concern for the community. We all have to work together. It’s not just on the city manager,” LaRonna Lassiter Saunders, Justice Advocate and Attorney, said. “It’s not just on the Chief of Police. It’s on me, and it’s on you to come together and you know talk about what we need and then stop talking and put some action into place.”
