Cannot Make Court?

You must request a continuance from the Prosecutor by calling 913-684-4930.

If the Prosecutor refuses to agree to a continuance, you may petition the Court for one; the prosecutor cannot help you with this petition.
Until you have received an oral or written confirmation of a continuance, you do not have a continuance and you must appear. Leaving a voicemail message is not sufficient.

If you fail to appear (that is, you do not show up and do not have a continuance), the government may seek a federal warrant for your arrest. Do not be in that situation.

Want to Talk to a Prosecutor?

Although you have received the citation, the Prosecutor has not received the reports. And without reading the reports, the Prosecutor will not act on your citation. Consequently, the Prosecutor will not see any walk-in Defendants.

In addition, if you have received a “money ticket,” the Prosecutor cannot act (absent extraordinary circumstances) on that citation until it is placed on a hearing calendar.

If you are deploying, “PCS'ing,” “ETS'ing,” retiring, or otherwise leaving the area before your expected court date, you may make an appointment to meet with the Prosecutor by calling 913-684-4844. "Leaving the area" does not include annual leave, vacation, or TDY. In those circumstances, you may request a continuance.

By making an appointment, you allow the Prosecutor an opportunity to familiarize himself with your case so that your discussion with him can be as productive as possible.
