Get StartedA "yes" vote will amend the Missouri Constitution to allow the general assembly by law to increase the minimum funding for a police force established by the state board of police commissioners to ensure such police force has additional resources to serve its communities. Currently the only police force established by the state board of police commissioners is found in Kansas City, Missouri.
A "no" vote will not amend the Missouri Constitution regarding the funding for a police force established by the state board of police commissioners.
