Report Says St Louis County Police Has Racial Divide, Needs To Improve Community Engagement

Originally published on December 22, 2020 5:21 pm Updated at 5:20 p.m., Dec. 22, with comments from members of the St. Louis County Council Two separate, independent reports by an outside consultant have determined that the St. Louis County Police Department has major racial problems while its counterpart in St. Louis needs a better strategy for fighting violent crime. The reports, released Monday, call for significant action by both departments. St. Louis County Police report The report on the St. Louis County department said the window is shrinking for the chief to address “a serious racial divide” within the organization. The 43-page report by private consultant Teneo Group said Chief Mary Barton must quickly address this divide by creating a long-term strategic plan outlining the department’s mission and objectives. The plan must be shared with employees but also with the community to restore trust, specifically with communities of color.

Lack of communication, outdated policies and technology, among issues affecting local police, consultants say

CLAYTON — The police departments of St. Louis and St. Louis County are severely behind their counterparts in other parts of the country, hamstrung by legacy organizational issues and lacking overarching strategies for fighting crime in the region, according to two extensive reports produced by outside consultants and released Monday. The reports, more than 80 pages total, describe two very different departments, each facing distinct challenges, but similar in their reliance on outdated policies and practices, and hobbled by internal rancor over hiring, promotions and discipline. Neither department communicates well with the public, employees or, crucially, with each other. This lack of county-city coordination is a roadblock to combating crime throughout the region, the reports conclude.

Consultants reports on St Louis city and county police likely to bolster calls to restructure local law enforcement | Law and order

CLAYTON — Final reports from consultants hired to analyze the St. Louis and St. Louis County police departments are expected to be released early this week, potentially setting off a broad effort to restructure law enforcement in the region. St. Louis County officials believe the report on the county police department will be critical of its diversity and inclusion efforts, as well as its overall leadership under Chief Mary Barton and her two predecessors, Jon Belmar and Tim Fitch, according to a source with knowledge of briefings prior to the report’s release. And the report will take issue with how the department communicates with the news media and public.
