Alvin Demby, Community Policing Officer

My name is Alvin Demby of the Wichita Police Department. For the last eight years I have been the Community Policing Officer for 35 Beat which is bound by Kellogg on the north, Harry on the south, Woodlawn on the east and Oliver on the west.

We work in three shifts: 1st shift officers are Dave Halverson and O'dell Thomas; 2nd shift officers are Darlene Zerr and Kornelson; 3rd shift officers are Boone and Woodard. Community Policing Supervisor is Sgt. Allen Wolf.

We work out of Patrol East Station where the phone number is 688-9331. we also have an office in the Parklane Shopping Center located at 957 S. Glendale and the phone number is 688-9545.

The Community Police Officer works as a liaison for communication between public and private agencies along with citizens who live in the beat area. We assist businesses by starting a Business Watch, a version of the Neighborhood Watch, in efforts to reduce crime and opening communication between business owners. We also work on neighborhood traffic complaints, underage drinking, truancy, graffiti and health code violations.

Officer Demby and the 35 Beat Team work closely with other city agencies such as Central Inspection, Health Department and Animal Control to better assist citizens and businesses on the beat. Officer Demby also encourages citizens to help us fight crime and solve neighborhood problems whether in schools, local businesses or the neighborhood itself. Don't hesitate to call us any time you need our help.
