The Support Services Division provides services to the entire department as well as the community. The Division is made up of the Administrative Services Bureau, Records Bureau, Special Operations Bureau and the Training Bureau.
The Special Operations Bureau overlooks many sections, including the Accident Follow-up Unit which investigates hit and run accidents, impaired driver violations and the charging of criminal cases. The Air Section, which serves as the full-time helicopter unit for the Police Department and the City of Wichita, and the Police Reserves also operate within the operational structure of the Bureau. In addition, four auxiliary units, the Mounted Unit, Special Weapons and Tactics Team (SWAT), Honor Guard and Explosive Ordnance Unit are assigned to Special Operations. The Administrative Services Bureau houses the Information Services Unit which collects and tracks crime data in the city. This web site and the statistical data is provided and maintained by this section.
Community Affairs and School Liaison are also part of the Administrative Services Bureau and provide crime prevention services, such as Neighborhood Watch, and law education programs, such as D.A.R.E., to citizens and students.
The Warrant Office works with Muncipal Court and other local, state, and federal agencies to ensure that court documents are served in a timely manner.
The Records Bureau is responsible for the entry of data and filing of incident reports and criminal cases. Our S.P.I.D.E.R. section, which stands for Special Police Information Data Entry and Retrieval, is operated within the Records Bureau and provides field officers and investigators information through the National Crime Information Computer (N.C.I.C).
The Training Bureau is responsible for recruiting, pre-employment screening and training of new officers as well as the continued training of veteran officers in such areas as firearms proficiency, use of force, and community relations. |
