This story was originally published by the Kansas City Beacon. In a vote watched closely in Kansas City, Missourians approved a statewide ballot measure in 2012 to return control of the St. Louis Police Department to the city itself. Just over a decade later, the Missouri legislature is debating multiple pieces of legislation to reverse that decision and put the department under state control.Proponents say that crime and police understaffing point to significant problems with local control, and that a state takeover would help counter the problems the city and the police department are facing.Opponents point to Kansas City’s long history with state control of its police department, which they say has done little to curb violent crime or improve staffing issues.
