The task force made 57 recommendations for changes in the state foster care system, Sedgwick County 911, the Wichita Police Department and the county’s youth corrections system.

The recommendations are not binding, and they include an audit of ‘stand your ground’ laws that were cited when officers who restrained the teen were not charged.
