On Monday, City Manager Robert Layton announced major problems found at the Wichita Police Department’s evidence building. “My office learned about potential problems with the police department’s property and evidence operation,” Layton said. He also talked about five phase plans to fix it. One of the problems found in the more than 400-page audit is a huge evidence backlog. It says the building has around 550,000 items, and that it’s “increasing at an alarming rate.” So why is the city just now making a plan? “I don’t think we understood the magnitude of it and I didn’t until I read the audit report,” Layton said.
