Hello!
Allow me to introduce myself to you. I am Officer John Bogle and i have recently taken over for Officer Oblinger as the 36 Beat Coordinator. Officer Oblinger has moved to a similar position within the Patrol North Bureau. Please ignore the picture for the next few weeks as i have made a request to have it replaced with my picture. Just to tell you a little about myself, I have been a Police Officer since 1996 and a member of the Patrol East Community Policing Unit for the past several years. I look forward to working with many of you as, together, we try to improve the quality of life for 36 Beat's residents.

Join The Party!
Wichita residents are once again invited to join thousands of other communities across America in supporting a unique, coast-to coast crime prevention project on August 4th, 2009 to give neighborhood crime and drugs a "going away" party. From 6:00 to 10:00 p.m., residents city wide and across the nation, will be asked to turn on outside lights and spend the evening outside on their block.
For the last eighteen years, the Wichita Police Department has won national awards for its National Night Out program. In 2008 Wichita finished 5th in overall participation in the category of cities with 300,000+ population. For a list of public events being held in celebration of National Night out, please click here!
During National Night Out 2009 many neighborhoods will be hosting special activities such as yard parties, cookouts, etc. National Night Out gives people a chance to heighten crime prevention awareness, bring neighbors closer together, and send a message to criminals letting them know that neighbors across the U.S.A. are organized and fighting back. Organize a special activity for your neighborhood. Officers from the Wichita Police Department will stop by and visit as many events as possible. The police helicopter will fly over and "spotlight" blocks hosting activities, Let’s get involved and join others across the country in letting criminals know they are not welcome in our community. Start planning your parties now with your neighborhood. For more information contact Officer Michelle Tennyson, Community Affairs 455 N. Main, Wichita KS, 67202, or call 268-4101.
