WICHITA — Wichita police are deploying a new tool in the fight against graffiti and illegal dumping.

Digital cameras called FlashCAMs have the ability to capture clear, high-resolution images and read license plates 250 feet away in total darkness, police officials said today.

The city spends up to $500,000 a year cleaning up graffiti and picking up and disposing of illegally dumped items, Sedgwick County Commissioner Jim Skelton said. A recent cleanup of a dump site in Planeview cost $12,000 alone, he said.

Shawnee County Illegal Dumping- www.snco.us

Since 1996, Lyon County has spent more than $600,000 on illegal dumping and vandalism in the county.

Lyon County Engineer Chip Woods said during Wednesday morning’s Lyon County Commission study session that the county has spent a staggering amount of money on cleaning up after people in the county who dump illegally and vandalize signs and other things in the county.

“It just boggles my mind that in the last five years we’ve been shelling out over $40,000 a year just for vandalism,” Woods said. “Dumping has gone down a little bit but not a lot.”

In 2010, between the two, the county has spent more than $60,000 — taxpayer dollars that could be utilized elsewhere while fuel prices are on a steep incline.

Kansas State Flag

On a navy blue field is a sunflower, the state flower. Also, the state seal and the words “Kansas”. In the picture of the state seal are thirty-four stars representing the order of statehood. Above the stars is the motto “To the Stars Through Difficulties”. On the seal a sunrise overshadows a farmer plowing a field near his log cabin, a steamboat sailing the Kansas River, a wagontrain heading west and Native Americans hunting bison.
