Aaron Moses

Captain, Wichita Police Department, Kansas

Captain Aaron Moses has significantly impacted the Wichita Police Department through his outstanding leadership and innovative approach to law enforcement. He started his career in 2012 and rapidly advanced through the ranks, showcasing exceptional leadership skills and inspiring his colleagues. In 2015, he was chosen as a field training officer, setting the standard for his shift by embodying the department’s core values. 

Cpt. Moses gained national attention in 2016 for his outstanding commitment to community relations when his actions at a community event went viral, enhancing the public's perception of the Wichita Police. As a detective, he utilized NIBIN to successfully investigate and charge major cases, including violent crimes. Then, as a sergeant, he demonstrated his leadership skills by successfully planning, developing, and leading a multijurisdictional property crimes task force. With a focus on auto theft, his team recovered over $3 million in stolen property in just 180 days, while also minimizing police pursuits. 

As Chief Joe Sullivan's executive officer, Cpt. Moses oversees essential initiatives such as the department's public information efforts and its first-ever accreditation process. Additionally, he led the creation of a professional standards dashboard, which aims to improve transparency and accountability within the community. In 2024, Moses was promoted to captain and remained as the executive officer, with the added responsibility of overseeing the department’s newly created office of data, research, and policy. 

As a lifelong resident of the city, whose mother served as a deputy chief in the Wichita Police Department, Cpt. Moses is deeply connected to Wichita and is dedicated to advancing law enforcement practices and fostering strong relationships within his community.  

“My ultimate goal is to contribute to a more cohesive and responsive approach to policing, reflecting the shared efforts and voices of the entire community.”
