Sunset Hills will start providing police dispatching services for neighboring Crestwood this July, after aldermen in both sister cities approved a contract this month that holds neither liable if things go wrong. The Sunset Hills Board of Aldermen unanimously approved a $135,000 annual contract May 11 to provide police and 911 dispatching services for the Crestwood Police Department starting in July, while the Crestwood Board of Aldermen also unanimously approved the contract in a special meeting May 18. The funds could be used for a pay matrix. The 3.5-year contract was jointly developed by Crestwood Police Chief Jonathan Williams, who just started in January, and Sunset Hills Chief Stephen Dodge, with a 3-percent increase each year starting Jan. 1, 2023. Sunset Hills would start dispatching for Crestwood July 1 to Dec. 31 for $67,500. The first full year, 2022, would cost $135,000, then 3-percent annual hikes top out at $143,221 in 2024.
