The Wichita Police Department has created a task force to crack down on property crimes across the community, and the group is already reporting success. The task force will work with local businesses to target retail thefts, car break-ins and other crimes, with a zero tolerance policy. Police Chief Joe Sullivan says “The message is clear. Wichita is a place where property crimes will be met with decisive action,” and the task force will be working to keep streets safe and businesses protected. Chief Sullivan said in its first few weeks, the team has already conducted 80 investigations leading to 43 arrests and the recovery of 32 stolen vehicles and retail property valued at approximately $635,000.
