The Kansas City PBS Channel 19 will be showing a local documentary, produced by Michael Price, featuring the police departments from Kansas City, Missouri; Kansas City, Kansas; and Omaha, Nebraska on Thursday, September 19 at 7PM. The Kansas City, Kansas Police Department has implemented many strategies for crime reduction which has culminated in record low violent crime statistics in recent years which will be highlighted in this documentary.
As violent crime dropped nationwide in 2023, Kansas City saw its highest rates. The recent deadly shooting at the Kansas City Chiefs victory parade shined an international spotlight on the issue, leaving many to wonder if the shooting was enough to galvanize the city to tackle violent crime head-on. In search of solutions, filmmaker Michael Price explores successful crime reduction programs in Kansas City, Missouri, Kansas City, Kansas, and Omaha, Nebraska, immersing viewers in critical conversations about violent crime and inspiring meaningful action.
