WABAUNSEE COUNTY - On Sunday, October 22nd, following a request from the Little Apple Post for a statement on an ongoing investigation of an employee of the department, Wabaunsee County Undersheriff, Eric Kirsch released a statement on behalf of the Wabaunsee County Sheriff’s Office.
"On 12OCT23, I requested assistance from the Kansas Bureau of Investigation (KBI) on a personnel matter. I demand accountability & transparency in Kansas Peace Officers. As a private citizen, I would demand the same & would not trust any law enforcement agency to investigate itself. Thus, I requested KBI assistance in adherence to my ethical & professional obligations. This is an ongoing investigation & our policy is not to comment on specifics until the investigation is concluded. Please direct further questions to the Kansas Attorney General's Office or KBI. WBSO operations continue uninterrupted. -Eric Kirsch, Undersheriff, Wabaunsee County Kansas”
