In 2017, Officer Paul Oliver, while employed by the Lenexa Police Department, was involved in a Facebook conversation where he discussed losing control on citizens they were supposed to serve. This conversation was cited in an anonymous letter criticizing local law enforcement hiring practices. The letter highlighted that Oliver had received significant discipline after kicking a civilian’s car during a traffic stop. Oliver later joined the Olathe Police Department.
