With 61 people indicted last week on weapons and drug charges, Kansas City is making a statement

On Tuesday's Up to Date, Steve Kraske talks with Kansas City, Mo., Police Chief Darryl Forté about the undercover operation and how the department plans to reduce violent crime and better involve the community in its work.

When I host Up To Date each morning at 9, my aim is to engage the community in conversations about the Kansas City area’s challenges, hopes and opportunities. I try to ask the questions that listeners want answered about the day’s most pressing issues and provide a place for residents to engage directly with newsmakers.
