Take the first steps in building community trust
Wyandotte County Mayor and Commission
In Wyandotte County, we hear the echoes of our own struggle in the national movement drawing attention to injustices in the criminal justice system. We know the stories of abuse, we are tired of officials' refusal to acknowledge, and we recognize the need for change.
We demand that the Unified Government Commission:
- Fund the proposed Community Integrity Unit, to ensure complaints are investigated fairly with less conflict of interest.
- Fund the proposed bilingual hotline for victims to report police misconduct, to ensure survivors can report police abuse without retribution.
- Pass the proposed Safe and Welcoming Wyandotte ordinance, to ensure immigrants and their loved ones can report crime without fear.

To our elected officials,
There exists a major lack of trust between major parts of our Wyandotte community and local law enforcement, which must be addressed by the Unified Government. In order to take the first steps in building a new attitude of trust, we demand that you: Fund the proposed Community Integrity Unit, to ensure complaints are investigated fairly with less conflict of interest. Fund the proposed bilingual hotline for victims to report police misconduct, to ensure survivors can report police abuse without retribution. Pass the proposed Safe and Welcoming Wyandotte ordinance, to ensure immigrants and their loved ones can report crime without fear.
