Kansas City, MO. – Mass changes are underway inside the Kansas City Police Department. All but a half dozen top commanders have been reassigned in a reorganization that includes demotion of two deputy chiefs to different administrative jobs.

Darryl Forte was sworn in five days ago after an extensive candidate search by the Board of Police Commissioners.
