INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) During surveillance for a case, Indianapolis police watched vehicles in a funeral procession pass one recent afternoon on a city street.
In one of the vehicles, the officers of the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department’s Crime Gun Intelligence Center saw men running cars off the road and displaying weapons out their vehicle’s sunroof and windows.
Police stopped the car safely at a gas station parking lot at the intersection of South Keystone Avenue and East Raymond Street on the near-southeast side. According to a Facebook post from IMPD, here’s what the officers found in the vehicle April 28:
Sgt. Kevin Kendall was selected by Taylor and a majority vote of the membership of the Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 86. Kendall joined the Marion County Sheriff’s Department in 1996, where he worked as a K-9 officer and a member of SWAT. He was part of the motorcycle drill team until 2014 when he was promoted to sergeant and assigned to IMPD’s Northwest District patrol. Kendall is also a team leader on the department’s Police Officer Support Team, IMPD said Friday. Kendall asked not to share his photo.
As part of Proposal 237 passed by the Indianapolis City-County Council in 2020, the board has a civilian majority, with two members appointed by the mayor’s office, two appointed by the council, two appointed by the police department, and one appointed by the Fraternal Order of Police.
