After multiple shootings in the last week, Wichita police Chief Gordon Ramsay is hoping a new initiative will help crack down on violent crime. WPD is partnering with the US Marshals Service for Operation Triple Beam. The two-month-long program will focus on bringing in people with warrants for violent crimes, like aggravated assault, homicide or drugs. Police Chief Gordon Ramsay said that the operation allows officers to work overtime in order to focus on outstanding warrants for felony drug and weapon offenses. U.S. Marshalls will assist, using their crews in cities and states surrounding Kansas. The end result will be a reduction in crime.
