KANSAS CITY POLICE -- Mayor Lucas proposes reallocation of KCPD budget to community efforts

Updated: 3:25 PM CDT May 20, 2021 KMBC 9 News Staff Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas announced Thursday two pieces of legislation that he says will “vastly increase accountability for the Kansas City Police Department, enhance police-community relations, and make Kansas City safer.”According to Lucas, the ordinances would amend the Kansas City FY 21-22 budget to fund the Kansas City Police Department to the 20% minimum of Kansas City’s general revenue as compelled by the Missouri Legislature.Lucas said the ordinances would reallocate the remainder of the previously-allocated KCPD budget to a new Community Services and Prevention Fund, and he directs the city manager to “enter into a contract with the Board of Police Commissioners to provide certain community engagement, outreach, prevention, intervention, and other public services, including as necessary providing for an additional recruiting class to facilitate the provision of community services.”T
