The following is an excerpt from a Feb. 19 report from KMUW-FM, Wichita State University's listener-supported public radio station, about the The Hugo Wall School of Public Affairs at WSU.
The Hugo Wall School of Public Affairs at Wichita State University has finished their assessment of the Wichita Police Department. The 227-page report focused on the themes of communication training, technology, recruitment and community relations.
Misty Bruckner, Director of the Center for Urban Studies, said that when considering racial profiling, recommendations were to have hands-on training.
"I'm inviting members from the minority community to be active in the police training, to create a dialogue, and to create an understanding from both sides," Bruckner says.
