With deep sadness and heavy hearts, the Wichita Police Department announces the tragic loss of Officer Kylee Lawrence, who passed away by suicide on June 11, 2025, while off duty. Officer Lawrence was a dedicated five-year veteran of the department, proudly serving in the Patrol North Bureau. Her commitment to protecting and serving our community was unwavering, and her absence leaves a profound void in the hearts of all who knew her.
Kylee was not only a devoted officer but also a valued friend, colleague, and mentor. Her compassion, strength, and sense of duty earned her the respect and admiration of her peers. She made a lasting impact on the Wichita community, and her loss is deeply felt by her WPD family.
At this incredibly difficult time, we ask for the community’s support, compassion, and understanding to be extended to Kylee’s family, loved ones, and her fellow officers. Your thoughts, prayers, and words of comfort mean more than words can express.
This heartbreaking moment also serves as a powerful reminder: you are not alone. If you or someone you know is struggling, please reach out. Talk to a friend, a co-worker, a counselor, or a professional. Help is available, and asking for support is not a weakness—it is an act of courage.
Officer Kylee Lawrence, your service, your spirit, and your kindness will never be forgotten. You will always be part of our family.
Rest in peace, Kylee. You are missed beyond measure.
