As the lead Republican on the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee that funds the Department of Justice, I worked to secure these resources to provide our state law enforcement professionals with the tools they need to serve our communities and to keep Kansans safe. I want to thank Police Chief Karl Oakman, Mayor Tyrone Garner, Commissioners Chuck Stites, Tom Burroughs and Christian Ramirez, Assistant County Administrator Bridgette Cobbins and Interim County Administrator Cheryl Harrison-Lee for joining me today,” Sen. Moran stated. (Photo from Sen. Moran’s office)
