WICHITA, Kan. — Wichita police plan to ban officers from kneeling on the necks of people in handcuffs.
The Wichita Eagle reports that several other proposed policy changes that protesters have called for are included in a document that police provided Thursday to the Citizen’s Review Board. Other proposed changes to the use of force policy include a duty to intervene for officers witnessing unethical behavior, a requirement to provide medical aid after deadly force is used and a general prohibition on shooting at vehicles.
The document said those and other changes were added at the police chief’s request.
