The Wichita Police Department's Field Services Division is comprised of uniformed personnel and is organized into four bureaus. Each of the bureaus (Patrol North, Patrol South, Patrol East, and Patrol West) operates out of a patrol substation located in their assigned quadrants. This enables rapid response to emergency calls for services and provides easier citizen access to services. In addition each Patrol Bureau is responsible for delivering law enforcement services through the community policing philosophy.   Also assigned to the Field Services Division are four SCAT units which are the enforcement teams of community policing. The Field Services Division has twelve School Resource Officers assigned to area high schools and middle schools to work as liaisons between the Board of Education and the Wichita Police Department. The latest moves toward community orientated policing has been a combined and concentrated effort between the neighborhoods, businesses and the police department to address the prostitution problem and to continue to increase the quality of life for our citizens.  Plus the Wichita Police Department has partnered up with the Kansas Department of Corrections and is taking an active role in the Sedgwick County Re-entry Program.  Deputy Chief Terri Moses Division Commander (Email me here) Wichita Crime Statistics Type of Crime 2009 2008 2007 2006 2005 2004 2003 2002 2001 Murder 26 33 42 26 14 33 21 25 17 Rape 253 286 270 257 224 231 222 208 184 Individual Robbery  364 396 446 356 322 448 406 533 553 Business Robbery  175 97 117 167 124 203 200 257 202 Aggravated Assault Drive By  44 47 42 46 46 69 48 81 177 Residential Burglary  3,127 2,891 2,698 2,533 2,132 2,594 2,710 3,090 2,771 Non-Residence Burglary  973 1,256 1,548 1,301 1,580 1,314 1,322 1,385 1,662 Larceny  14,215 14,404 14,027 13,549 13,851 16,587 15,784 15,465 14,947 Auto Theft  1,595 1,854 2,046 1,933 2,386 3,355 3,503 1,799 1,794 Vandalism 8,546 8,685 8,468 8,694 7,905 8,648 7,993 8,527 7,746
