Wichita residents: Tell us what you want to see in your next police chief

Wichita Police Chief Gordon Ramsay is resigning from the department on March 1, leaving the job open for someone new. The city of Wichita is already working to find his replacement.

But we want to hear from you about what you think the city needs in its next police chief. What sort of candidate should we seek? How much experience should they have? What issues should they prioritize?

Submit your thoughts using the questionnaire below. We will use this information in a story along with other interviews we plan to conduct in the coming weeks.

If you have questions, email aleiker@wichitaeagle.com or call 316-268-6644.
