Part one of a two-part series on the closing of several area homeless camps by the Kansas City Police Department. Local authorities have come under some criticism for raiding such camps and forcing the occupants to vacate the area. KCPD officials point out that they have encountered illegal activity in 98% of the camps raided and have also partnered with local social service agencies such as Hope Faith Ministries to help the homeless get needed services. One camp described in the article featured a network of underground tunnels and shelters; other camps uncovered in the area are also discussed.
