Editor’s Note: Former Sections 200.010, Chief of Police — Appointment — Qualifications, 200.020, Size of Police Force — Powers, and 200.040, Police Training Required, were removed at the request of the City. The City signed an agreement with the Clay County Sheriff’s Office and with the Institute for Building Technology and Safety (IBTS), dated 10-1-2016, whereby the County and the Sheriff’s Office will provide law enforcement services to the City. The IBTS will respond to City official and/or citizen complaints in regards to City Code violations and report such violations to the City Council and the Clay County Sheriff’s Office liaison. The City Police Department has been dissolved, and wherever “Police Department” appears in the Code, it shall now refer to the Clay County Sheriff’s Office.
The Board of Aldermen of the City may by ordinance enter into a contract or agreement with any other political subdivision, for the provision of Police services by one political subdivision to another on request, as provided for in Section 70.815, RSMo. The terms "Police", "Policemen" and "Police Department" as used herein shall refer to Law Enforcement Officers of the contracting entity.
