Wichita Police Department Patrol West

Clara, the dog, flagged down Officer Kimrey in the Patrol West parking lot for help. Luckily Clara had a microchip so we could find her family to come pick her up!!! Clara was a little hot, and thirsty, but she was just fine. This is a reminder to microchip your pets so we can help get them reunited with their families!!!!

Deputy Converse and Officer Kimrey did a presentation for The Pines HOA tonight about the S.E.N.I.O.R.S. Program through Sedgwick County. They had a fun flamingo theme and lots of food to share. We had a great time socializing with everyone, thanks for having us!

Officer Williams and Officer Phommachanh attended the Riverside Elementary bike clinic today and helped the kids with the bike course. The kids were fitted with bike helmets as well. The kids had a great time!

Officer Kimrey (Patrol West) and Officer Donahue (Traffic) were invited to greet the kids from OK Elementary school arriving to their carnival night. The kids had fun trying out the motorcycle and the officers had fun hanging out with the kids and the donkey!!

A neighborhood in the area of Maple and 119th reported seeing 2 persons on bikes rolling around in between 2am-4am acting suspicious. They were concerned they were looking for items to steal, possibly from cars. If you live in this area and see anything similar please call 911! Also make sure you aren't leaving anything of value in your vehicles overnight. I.e. wallets, purses, bags, loose change, anything that can be pawned and lock your doors!

In the last 28 days we noticed an increase of vehicle break-ins around the Kellogg and Ridge area. Most of the vehicles were left unlocked, and some people left their purses, wallets, and other valuables out in plain site in the car while inside stores, restaurants or other businesses. Please do not leave anything out in plain view, thieves will not hesitate breaking out car windows for anything of value. If you go in to eat or shop please take your purses inside with you. Paperwork (registration, etc) inside a car is also valuable along with your garage door opener, this allows thieves to know where you live and a way to gain access to your home while you are gone. Please, If you see something say something!

**Second Chance Thursday ** If you are coming to Second Chance Thursday today be aware that the GPS will guide you to the pool instead of the building we are in! Go to 16th street just north of the pool and we are in that building!!!

Officer Kimrey, Officer Perkins and Officer Williams were out in the Delano District today contacting businesses and doing foot patrol. Getting everyone ready for the crowd increase for baseball season!
