Wichita Citizens' Review Board Regular Meeting
The board discussed several proposals to assist the Wichita Police Department, including the implementation of structured decision-making tools, non-lethal alternatives for armed subjects, the benefits of multi-agency responses, and the utilization of trained official observation teams. There was a detailed inquiry into the standard equipment carried in police vehicles, specifically regarding items for de-escalation and mental health crises, and the role of current mental health providers. The meeting also addressed administrative updates, including a request form update, future meeting scheduling, and the review of case files during an executive session.
