S.E.N.I.O.R.S. Program
The Maize Police Department has partnered with the Sedgwick County Sheriff’s Office to provide Maize seniors with the S.E.N.I.O.R.S. program. This is a free cooperative program between law enforcement, TRIAD, senior citizens, and persons with disabilities. S.E.N.I.O.R.S. is an acronym for the Sheriffs Elderly/Disable Notification Intensive Outreach Response System. Through the use of a secure database this program allows law enforcement and other emergency services the ability to make contact with care givers, family members, family physician, to locate keys or a key holder, and be aware of current medical issues and medications. For more information please view this S.E.N.I.O.R.S. video or contact the Community Liaison Unit at 316-660-3920. Download a S.E.N.I.O.R.S. form and should mail it to the Sedgwick County Sheriff’s Office Community Liaison Unit 141 W. Elm, Wichita KS, 67203.
Crime Prevention - A False Sense of Security
Living in a smaller community like Maize often gives people a false sense of
security that they are safe from crime. Recently several vehicles were
burglarized and one vehicle was stolen in Maize during night-time hours while
the cars were parked in driveways of homes. In most of these cases, the
vehicles were left unlocked and property was left in view inside the car and the
keys were left in the car that was stolen. Most thieves are opportunist
and don't like taking unnecessary chances of getting caught by breaking car
windows and will instead move onto a car that is unlocked. These types of
crimes are very difficult to solve due to lack of evidence left behind.
The Maize Police Department strongly encourages residents to lock your car doors
and secure personal belongings where not visible, such as in the trunk, so if
someone were to walk by and look inside your car they would not see anything
they would be tempted to steal.
