Police Report #3: Equipment, Dispatch, and Mutual Aid

Police Report #3: Equipment, Dispatch, and
Mutual Aid
April 2015

PUBLIC SAFETY STUDY
POLICE REPORT #3
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This is the third and final in a series of reports compiled by Better Together for the purpose of providing
insight into how the 60 departments in St. Louis City and County provide police service to the region.
These reports provide straightforward information about how the departments operate and the resources
they employ.
Following this report, the Police Executive Research Forum (a premier police research and policy
organization with decades of experience in the field of law enforcement research and policy
development) will present an idealized policing strategy for the St. Louis region, as well as individual
best practices to improve policing across the region.
As highlighted in previous reports, the 60 police departments in St. Louis City and St. Louis County
possess widely differing resources, and they provide protection across significantly diverse geographic
and demographic communities. Resources range from the size of the overall budget to the individual
equipment that departments provide to their officers.
Better Together assembled a table of equipment issued, based on information provided by the
departments themselves. The entirety of this information can be viewed in our full report. Data reveals a
wide range of personal equipment and resources afforded to officers, depending on their department.
Some departments provide everything from body armor to service weapons to radios to winter caps.
Other departments provide nothing more than a badge and an identification card. Still others issue body
armor only “when funds are available.” The data shows that departments’ ability to keep their officers
safe and well-equipped varies from municipality to municipality.
The fragmented nature of St. Louis City and St. Louis County also impacts dispatch. Twenty-one
separate dispatches handle calls for service for the 60 police departments in the St. Louis County region
with several departments having their own dispatch while St. Louis County dispatches for 23
departments and several other regional or municipal dispatches handle calls from neighboring
municipalities. Based on information directly from the agencies, Better Together compiled a table
showing the dispatches for each police department in the St. Louis City and County region, which is
viewable in our full report.
Chapter 70 of the Missouri Revised Statutes allows counties and municipalities to enter into mutual aid
agreements during an emergency and also permits officers in compliance with Chapter 590 RSMo to
1
respond to emergencies outside the boundaries of the political subdivision. Police departments
throughout Missouri are automatically party to a statewide mutual aid agreement.
Additionally, St. Louis County and municipalities therein have established the “Code 1000 Plan.” The
Code 1000 Plan “is an administrative and operational law enforcement mutual aid contingency plan,
which coordinates the commitment and deployment of police resources within the geographic limits of
St. Louis County” during any time that law enforcement authorities “have insufficient personnel,
equipment or special expertise to maintain law and order during an ongoing crisis.”
As the table in the full report shows, mutual aid plans vary among the 60 departments in St. Louis City
and St. Louis County. Some departments, provided no public records pertaining to additional mutual aid
agreements beyond those at the state or county level.
The remaining report on policing, issued by the Police Executive Research Forum in early May, will
offer an expert analysis of best practices that could help improve police service throughout the 60
departments in St. Louis City and County.

EQUIPMENT ISSUED
Critical to understanding policing in the St. Louis region is a knowledge of the resources available to the
60 departments providing service. These resources range from the size of the overall budget to the
individual equipment that departments provide to their officers. As with other resources, the data
assembled in the table below reveals that there is a wide range of personal equipment and resources
afforded to officers depending on their department.

MUTUAL AID AGREEMENTS
Chapter 70 of the Missouri Revised Statutes allows counties and municipalities to enter into mutual aid
agreements during an emergency and also permits officers in compliance with Chapter 590 RSMo to
respond to emergencies outside the boundaries of the political subdivision. 1
Police departments throughout Missouri are automatically party to a statewide mutual aid agreement. 2
Additionally, St. Louis County and municipalities therein have established the “Code 1000 Plan.” The
Code 1000 Plan “is an administrative and operational law enforcement mutual aid contingency plan,
which coordinates the commitment and deployment of police resources within the geographic limits of
St. Louis County” during any time that law enforcement authorities “have insufficient personnel,
equipment or special expertise to maintain law and order during an ongoing crisis.” 3 In addition, the
Kirkwood Police Department – Code 1000 Plan & RSMo Chapter 70.
RSMo 44.090 (providing that the executive officer of any political subdivision or public safety agency may enter into
mutual-aid arrangements or agreements with other public and private agencies within and without the state for reciprocal
emergency aid and that all political subdivisions and public safety agencies within the state are upon enactment of this
legislation or execution of an agreement, automatically a part of the Missouri statewide mutual aid system unless a political
subdivision passes a resolution specifically removing itself.)
