Wichita highlights multi-agency Property Crimes Reduction Task Force arrest aided by air support
Summary
Wichita police described a multi-agency response that used a Flock camera alert and Kansas Highway Patrol air support to locate and arrest a suspect in a stolen vehicle without a pursuit; officials said the case demonstrates interagency coordination.
Wichita Police Department officials on Oct. 30 highlighted a recent arrest by the Property Crimes Reduction Task Force, a multi-agency partnership created to reduce property crimes across the region.
Officer Chris Goupel (Speaker 4), the department’s public information officer, said the task force was alerted by a Flock Technology camera to a stolen vehicle and that Kansas Highway Patrol air support located the car from above and vectored ground units to its position. Officers took the suspect into custody after a short foot pursuit without further incident, Goupel said.
The department presented a short video of the response as part of its Well Done Wednesday feature, which officials described as an example of teamwork among multiple agencies. No further case details, charges or defendant information were provided during the briefing.
Police emphasized that the operation prioritized public safety by avoiding a vehicle pursuit and relying on aerial guidance to resolve the incident.
