Wichita Police Expand Force with 33 New Officers | Wichita News
Description
Wichita’s police force is growing fast — 33 new officers just graduated, including a third from out of state, as the department ramps up recruitment to reflect its diverse community. Chief Joe Sullivan’s leadership has transformed the force, expanding from just 9 recruits to nearly full staffing thanks to better pay, tech-forward training, and social media outreach. These rookies will spend four months in field training before hitting the streets — and with 19 more recruits on the way, Wichita is poised to close the gap on its authorized strength and keep pace with city growth.
