Thomas Stolz, who is currently a deputy police chief in Wichita, will begin work as the department's director on Nov. 13.
Sedgwick County Manager Bill Buchanan said in a press release that the city and county talked with a number of business and organizational leaders in the process of finding a director for the MABCD. Buchanan said everyone was impressed with the problem-solving approach that Stolz will bring to the table from his years in law enforcement.
