Mayor Brandon Whipple says it’s time for elected officials to step in and provide additional oversight of the Wichita Police Department amid an escalating feud between police leaders and the city manager’s office. The composition of the proposed task force and the scope of its authority remain to be seen. But some City Council members aren’t convinced the committee is necessary. Whipple, a Democrat, says he and two fellow council members will serve on the task force alongside a city lawyer and Wichita’s newly hired internal auditor, Kristina Rose.
