Law enforcement agencies, now and before Johnson County s official mask mandate ended, say they have approached mask disputes with efforts to calm the situation and mediate between parties before making arrests. Above, Mission Police Officer Matt Breshears works off-duty at the Mission Hy-Vee store.
Even though Johnson County no longer requires masks to be worn in public, local police departments maintain that reaching a peaceful resolution is preferable to arrests and charges.
Johnson County’s mask order has been lifted, but businesses and organizations that still require masks on their premises can call police if someone without one refuses to leave.

Overland Park set a stolen car record in 2020. Many cities in Johnson County saw a spike last year near 40%. Police say too often people simply leave their keys or key fob in their cars.
In some of Johnson County s biggest cities, the increase in the number of stolen vehicles from 2019 to 2020 was over 40%. Police remain unsure about the reason but think the dramatic increase may be tied to the pandemic and economic troubles.
When the police tell you not to warm up your car and leave it unattended, it s a good idea to listen because there is a pretty good chance someone is looking to steal it.
