Wichita Police Department members participated in the KAKE Touch-A-Truck event at Riverfest on Thursday evening. Thank you to all of our officers and staff who took the time to engage with community members, answer questions, and display the equipment and resources we use to serve Wichita every day. We appreciate everyone who stopped by and helped make the event a success.

I’ve proclaimed today as Gilbert Baker Day in Kansas. Chanute native Gilbert Baker designed the original rainbow pride flag in 1977, which is now proudly flown around the world as a symbol of support for the LGBTQ+ community.
