April 25, 2021 On Friday, the high-crime city of St. Louis’s Board of Estimate and Apportionment asked Budget Director Paul Payne to research eliminating 150 vacant police officer positions from the city’s budget to pour the money into social service programs. The board includes Mayor Tishaura Jones, Board of Alderman President Lewis Reed and Comptroller Darlene Green. About 40 people made public comments during the two-hour meeting, including many who called for the elimination of the entire police budget. One woman said to continue to fund the police department would be to continue to fund “state sanctioned murder.” Several other people suggested the elimination of the department’s audio detection equipment known as the Shotspotter system, SWAT team and the Real Time Crime Center that tracks hundreds of surveillance cameras throughout the city and other intelligence efforts.
