Wichita area troopers honored with National Air Crew Award
Wichita area troopers honored with National Air Crew Award! 🏆️✈️
Kansas Highway Patrol's Lieutenant CJ Schreiber & Technical Trooper Sage Hill, have been awarded the prestigious 2024 Captain “Gus” Crawford Memorial Air Crew of the Year Award by the Airborne Public Safety Association (APSA). This prestigious national award, typically pursued by major agencies like NYPD & LAPD, was earned by the Wichita-based duo for their life-saving actions during a single eventful night on September 17th, 2023.
That night, Schreiber & Hill were flying Law One, a Cessna 206H, to assist with ground operations aimed at curbing reckless driving. But what began as a routine patrol quickly escalated into a series of high-stakes incidents. At 2:20 AM, the aircrew responded to a shooting involving an elderly restaurant owner who had been attacked outside his business. Acting swiftly, Schreiber located the victim lying partially under a vehicle & guided emergency personnel to the scene, helping ensure the man received life-saving medical care. But their work didn’t stop there.
Later that same night, Schreiber & Hill responded to another urgent call: a report of a s*xual assault in progress. As they arrived at the scene, they spotted a vehicle moving suspiciously in reverse for almost an entire city block. Moments later, a city officer reported shots fired in the area. Schreiber & Hill tracked the fleeing vehicle, which led officers on a high-speed chase through the city. At one point, the suspect even struck a police vehicle.
Despite the chaos, Schreiber & Hill remained calm & coordinated, providing essential updates & guidance to ground units. Eventually, they tracked the suspect to a location where he attempted to hide under a pickup truck. Thanks to their efforts, the suspect was apprehended, & a juvenile kidnapping victim was also rescued during the operation.
For their quick, professional handling of fast-moving situations, Schreiber & Hill earned natio

Kansas City, KS Officer ‘High’ On Duty Loses Police License
***NOT WICHITA***
***Kansas City, KS***
A Kansas City, Kansas police officer who appeared "high" while on duty last year has lost his state police certification.
In early January 2023, Officer James Shepherd, along with another officer, responded to an apartment for a custody dispute. While there, James "appeared to be under the influence of some type of substance as he had to lean on the wall for support, was speaking so fast that Plaintiffs could hardly understand him, his face was flushed, he was blinking his eyes at an unusual frequency, was slurring his words, and just generally acting strange," according to court documents.
One of the residents found his behavior so alarming that he immediately asked for a supervisor to respond & began filming. He later shared the video on social media.
KCKPD acknowledged the incident & released a statement saying they had begun an internal investigation, including a "fit for duty" evaluation that consisted of a comprehensive medical & physical assessment & drug screening. However, court documents later revealed that after the incident, Shepherd was not required to take a test to determine whether he was under the influence while on duty.
Three months later in April 2023, the police department announced that the Internal Affairs Investigation had cleared the officer for duty.
“On January 23, 2023, the KCKPD initiated an internal affairs investigation stemming from a widely viewed videotaped interaction between one of our officers and a resident during a call for service. Based on that investigation, it was determined that there was no wrongdoing on the part of the officer. While state and federal law prohibit the Department from releasing any further information, we can say that the officer passed a fit-for-duty examination conducted by several medical professionals.
It is important to note that residents featured in the video did not file a formal complaint and refused to cooperate with the investigation.
