Keep Civilian Review of Police -- Vote NO on Prop A, Tues. Nov. 6 Missouri Municipal Police Amendment (Local Control),  Proposition A - Jobs with Justice has supported local control of the St. Louis City Police  Department, collective bargaining rights for police officers, and a civilian review board for our neighbors for over a decade. However, the current ballot initiative proposing local control of the police unnecessarily undermines the power of a civilian review board and threatens  good community/police relations. Therefore we endorse a NO vote on Prop A, but continue to support other efforts to return control of the St. Louis City Police Department  in a way that protects the rights of our police force and our neighbors by  protecting collective  bargaining rights for officers and the establishment of a civilian review board for our city.

Proposition A Official Ballot Title: Shall Missouri law be amended to: allow any city not within a county (the City of St. Louis)  the option of transferring certain obligations and control of the city’s  police force from the board of police commissioners currently appointed by the governor to the city  and establishing a municipal police force; establish certain procedures and requirements for governing such a municipal  police force including residency, rank, salary, benefits, insurance, and pension; and prohibit retaliation against any employee of such municipal police force who reports conduct believed to be illegal to a superior, government agency, or the press? State governmental entities estimated savings will eventually be up to $500,000 annually. Local governmental entities estimated annual potential savings of $3.5 million; however, consolidation decisions with an unknown outcome may result in the savings  being more or less than estimated.
