Struggling for Words in 2019
This nation has had seven law enforcement officers killed in 2019. Reading this headline from Alabama this morning got me thinking as I sit here in disbelief. I don’t know what to say anymore. I am struggling for the words. Perhaps a thought on why some of us made the decision to work in law […]

Missouri’s New Medical Marijuana Law and KCPD
Earlier this month, Missouri voters approved Amendment 2, which legalized medical marijuana. I’ve heard many questions about how this will affect our enforcement activity.
