Kansas City Police Officer Stripped of License Following Sex Crime Convictions
A former Kansas City, Kansas, police officer who was convicted of sex crimes against a child has had his police license revoked, records show. Former officer Nicholas J. Schafer was employed by the Kansas City, Kansas Police Department from July 2005 to March 2022, according to records from the Kansas Commission on Peace Officers’ Standards and Training (CPOST).
According to a report by CPOST, a 13-year-old girl said that Schafer touched her inappropriately between Nov. 17 and Nov. 18, 2019.
Schafer was off duty at the time he committed the crime. In June 2020, Wyandotte County District Attorney Mark Dupree charged Schafer with two counts of aggravated indecent liberties with a child.
