Wichita police seeing an increase in crime committed by kids and now they are trying to get a handle on it by unveiling a new unit. “The goal is to get to some of these young people before god-forbid they make a life-changing decision that could ruin their lives or someone else’s,” says Wichita Mayor Brandon Whipple. That’s a trend Mayor Brandon Whipple can get behind after 2020 has seen some not so good ones. Like Wichita police releasing four youth-related homicides among an increase of other violent crimes. “I am glad that we have a forward-thinking police chief who has his ear to the ground of the community to respond in a way where we can provide resources to folks who might be headed down the wrong path,” Whipple said.
