Public Safety will be the topic of the day on Saturday, Oct. 12, at the Towne East Mall. Members of the Wichita Police Department are pleased to be participating in this event, and will have a number of specialty teams on site to visit with citizens.
Representatives from the Wichita Police Department will include the Special Weapons Action Team (SWAT), the Explosive Ordnance Unit (bomb squad), the Air Section and Officers from the Patrol East Bureau.
Officers will also be doing the Child Identification Program that lets parents put their child’s vital information, including a photograph, dimensions, and fingerprints on a computer disk. Parents fill out a questionnaire of basic information including height, weight, eye and hair color, blood type and any identifying scars and marks.
The computer disk is turned over to parents – police do not keep a copy - and can be updated at any time.
“We think this is a great opportunity for the community to learn more about the Department and to get to interact with Officers in a relaxed environment. We hope to visit with a lot of citizens and answer a lot of questions,” said Officer Mike Lloyd, Community Policing East Bureau.
A number of other law enforcement agencies will also be participating in the event.
For more information, feel free to contact Officer Lloyd at 688-9331 or 688-9545.
