Default Re: Panhandlers

It is annoying, and the police need to make sure people aren't harrassed. However, keep in mind that many homeless are mentally ill or suffer from addiction. Giving them money often just helps them feed the addiction, they need serious help from shelters/support systems, not cash. The community relations police officer assigned to downtown is Sergeant LoRuse, you can call him at 316.4525.
