President’s ColumnBy Darrin Devinney, KCDAA PresidentButler County AttorneyBack to NormalI’m desperate for things to get back to normal –the way things were a few years ago. It would seem,however, that “normal” is not a return to the past.Rather, “normal” is the ever-progressing interfaceof changes in society, including the judicial process.Global pandemics, criminal justice reform, politicallandscapes, and economics all play a part in what alocal prosecutor must contemplate as they seek toprotect and serve his or her community.The advent of computer technology has beena growing force to be incorporated into our dailyroutines. The Kansas Court system requires us toe-file documents and be necessarily dependent uponour communication stream being in an electronicformat. The changes have been revolutionary tomany offices and as a result, a new system has beenborn for attorneys to communicate with the judicialbranch.Case management software is now commonplacefor a prosecutor’s office. Wrangling years of casefiles in manila file folders and shelved for storageis slowly fading from view as we maintain serverswith scanned copies. Dictation, typewriters, anda Rolodex by the phone are also becoming subjectmatter for an old man’s fireside story.The excitement of stepping into a courtroomand sitting at a counsel table to present a case hasturned into a series of e-mails and hyperlinks to takepart in a hearing conducted via Zoom. In so manyways, our collective use of this technology has madeus more efficient. Dockets are conducted withouttransporting inmates to the local courthouse andcases are heard with all parties being in more diversesettings. However, the nuances of all parties beingin the same room are lost when transmitted in amulti-screen jumble on a monitor or smartphone.Support staff training has undergone amonumental shift as well. E-mails, e-filing,document templates, downloading, uploading, filetypes and file conversion, dash cams, body cams,4The Kansas Prosecutorairdropping the list could go on forever. Learning,implementing, and teaching staff to use technologysuccessfully is its own full-time job for most ofus. My experience has been that with my office ofmoderate size, I am not just the county attorney, butalso the in-house expert on technology. Making surethat support staff and attorneys have what they needto understand and use the electronic tools at theirdisposal is my new “normal.”The KCDAA Board and the organization’smembership has persevered through the challengesof the past few years. As crime continued throughthe pandemic, so did our legal system in a dynamicway. The use of technology has assisted us allwith becoming more responsive and able to fulfillour duties, regardless of the obstacles. “Normal”today looks very different than it did two years ago,and I am confident that the future will continue tohave new challenges. Let us face those challengestogether as an organization and work towardmaintaining a strong, stable network of prosecutorsfor Kansas.Spring 2022

Guest ArticleBy Duston J. SlinkardUnited States Attorney, District of KansasViolent Crime in KansasThis reality is what has led the Department ofJustice to establish and prioritize a comprehensiveviolent crime reduction strategy that emphasizescooperation with state, local, and tribal partnersto prevent, disrupt, and prosecute violent crime.A central piece of this strategy is the Project SafeNeighborhoods Initiative (PSN), which the UnitedStates Attorney’s Office (USAO) has implementedin Kansas. PSN is a DOJ-funded nationwideinitiative that brings together federal, state, local,and tribal law enforcement officials, prosecutors,and community leaders to identify the mostpressing violent crime problems in a communityand develop comprehensive solutions to addressthem. The foundations of the strategy includemaking the program community-based to fit thelocal community crime problems as opposed to a“one size fits all” approach. Additionally, PSN useslaw enforcement, community data and intelligence,and cutting edge technology, to identify and targetthe most violent offenders and high crime areas ina community. Finally, PSN establishes meaningfulpartnerships with law enforcement leaderscombating violent crime through prevention andre-entry strategies. The original national evaluationof PSN found that the program was associated withsignificant declines in violent crime. PSN targetareas have experienced violent crime declinesranging from 4% to 42%.Another recently implementedinitiative in the District ofKansas is the Wichita Crime GunIntelligence Center (CGIC). As aDOJ funded initiative, the CGICis a cooperative effort betweenthe Wichita Police Department,Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco,Firearms and Explosives (ATF),Courtesy of the KBI 2020 Kansas Crime Index Report and Wichita State 20Crime%20Index.pdfAnalysts can develop leads to helpUnfortunately, the likelihood of becoming amurder victim in Kansas is greater now than atany other period in modern times. In 2020 (themost recently available reports), there were 193murders, the most since the FBI began collectingthis information in 1959. Worth noting is that withadvances in emergency medicine and equipment,nowadays more violent crime victims are survivingwho in past years may have likely been countedamong the homicide statistics. It’s not just murdersthat are on the rise in our state. The Kansas Bureauof Investigation compiled the 2020 Kansas CrimeIndex Report, which indicates that violent crimeincreased by 9.5% from 2019. Law enforcementfrom across the state reported 13,896 violent crimesincluding murder, rape, robbery, aggravated assault,and battery. These stats place the current violentcrime rate for Kansas at 24.4% higher than its10-year average.Kansas’ numbers are consistent with the trendsaround the United States. While crime rates havevaried over the years, there were sharp increasesnationally through the early 1900s, which beganto peak between the 1970s and 1990s. After 1991,the crime rates began to fall slightly each year, andcontinued to decline until 2015, when the rate startedto climb again. In 2018 and 2019, these rates beganto decline again until 2020, when the rate reversedand started to climb once again.6The Kansas ProsecutorSpring 2022

solve violent crimes in which a firearm was used byexamining the shell casings found at the scene of ashooting or other violent crime involving a firearm,inputting the results into a database, and comparingthose casings to others in the database. To date,this technology has generated more than 1,000 newleads related to crime guns and has led to numerousarrests, furthering the prosecutions of violentoffenders.In 2019, Wichita was selected to take partin the DOJ funded initiative Public SafetyPartnerships (PSP). This multi-year programprovides mentorship opportunities by connectingWichita with other cities that have faced similarviolent crime issues and found successes in theirfight against violent criminal behavior. Throughvirtual bi-monthly meetings with mentors, WichitaPolice Commanders and criminal intelligenceanalysts discuss what is working in efforts to curbviolent crime. Programs such as WPD’s “FocusedDeterrence,” which uses a call-in for juvenilesand adults identified as being at risk for becominginvolved in violent criminal behavior, have beendiscovered through PSP mentoring and found tohave been successful in curbing some of the violentcrime.As the U.S. Attorney, I offer this information anddata to provide insight into the kind of work goingon to combat violent crime in the District of Kansas.I also want to tell you about our offices in Kansasand our Criminal Division supervisory team. FirstAssistant United States Attorney Carrie Capwell,who offices in Kansas City, serves as the Chief ofthe Criminal Division. In each of our three officeswe have a Criminal Coordinator who supervises thecriminal staff and handles case inquiries and intakefor that office’s area of responsibility.
