Review of Kansas City, Missouri


Crime is out of control
Star Rating - 5/29/2006
The numbers lie! I have been through the many training courses offered by KCPD. I have been on many rid-alongs. The cops are trying to do the best they can. Criminals go free. everything is bargaomed down to a misdemeanor. car theft is auto tampering, breaking and entering is trespassing, Felonies are not prosecuted, just reduced to misdemeanors.

I have personally been in court at least 30-40 times as a witness. I have seen judges turn thugs loose with a 90 day suspended sentence for a list of crimes you would not believe.

We have no jail space. We wait until they have commited some crime that can be picked up by the State for prosecution. Theft, burlary, arson, robbery, vandalism, breaking and entering, assult, all turned into minor offenses and given SIS, (Suspended Imposition of Sentence).

Thank God we finally got the right to carry concealed. One of my Police Officer friends told me; "My Job is here, Why the heck would anyone else choose to live here?".
