Interim Chief Lem Moore says Wichita police need to change how they respond to mental health crises and interact with juveniles. Moore said community calls for reform prompted him to meet with representatives from the City Council, the city manager’s office and legal department about what the police department can do better. “There are things that are going on that can’t wait, that need to be addressed right here and right now — especially with mental health,” Moore said in an interview Tuesday. He replaces Chief Gordon Ramsay, who stepped down March 1 to return to Minnesota.
