Wichita police are now using social media to reach teens– before it’s too late. TikTok, Instagram, Snapchat are just a few places that investigators say kids are setting up drug deals that have ended in shootings. “We have something important to discuss,” said Officer Alex Avendano with the Wichita Police Department in a TikTok video posted Tuesday. It might just seem like a simple video on your social media feed. But it’s a new way Wichita Police officers in the Juvenile Intervention Unit are trying to spread awareness. “So, in the video, you see a guy taking pictures of drugs, and then posting it to social media, and then go on and setting up a deal and the deal goes bad,” said D.L. Watson. Officers Watson and Avendano said they made this reenactment in hopes of stopping illegal drug deals through social media.
