Chief Harper says the crooks are using a smart phone app to listen in on police scanners and determine what part of town the cops can be found…. But criminals aren’t the only ones using technology to get ahead in Baxter Springs. In addition to utilizing more plainclothes officers in unmarked vehicles, the Baxter Springs Police Department is also upgrading their vehicles. “We’re now purchasing a new system that goes on our vehicles. It’s like a flare that you see on the helicopter systems that will pick up heat sensations at night. So anybody that’s out hiding from a mile away in the middle of the dark, in the middle of the night, we’ll be able to see them,” said Chief Harper.
