Community members wary of KCKPD plan to review former detective Golubski's cases

..."One of the strong takeaways for me, as a directly impacted person, is strengthened resolve to insist on a pattern or practice investigation from the DOJ,” Kidd said. “No announcement from the Unified Government will change that.”

Khadijah Hardaway, founder of Justice for Wyandotte, which advocates for a list of Black women whose unsolved homicides can be connected to Golubski, said there must be an independent review of his cases.

“There has been a lack of transparency within the Unified Government, KCK police department, and the district attorney’s office,” she said. “Therefore we believe a third party should step in to digitize the files and/or the Justice Department should set up office within these three entities to show ultimate transparency.”

Dupree told the county commissioners that his office has been reviewing some of Golubski’s cases since 2018 as part of his Conviction Integrity Unit. Now he wants to digitize the county’s criminal case files dating back to the 1950’s to be able to search the documents.

“The goal for us digitizing all of this is to bring more transparency, accountability and justice,” Dupree said."

As ex Law Enforcement it sickens me to see people like Golubski giving us all in the field a bad name and worse to see that Department protect him.

Sweeping under the rug. A honest person gets arrested on the spot and police get a review. The cops need to pay out of their own pocket. Not having tax payers paying to the perp
