A unified voice for Missouri law enforcement in Jefferson City.
OUR MISSION
The Police Chiefs Legislative Coalition brings together police chiefs and public safety leaders from across Missouri to advance policies that protect our communities and support effective law enforcement. When public safety legislation comes before the Missouri General Assembly, lawmakers deserve to hear directly from the professionals responsible for enforcing the law.
When the Coalition engages on legislation, it reflects the collective perspective of the practitioners who live with the real-world consequences of public safety policy. PCLC representatives from your region are available to provide insight on legislation affecting public safety and law enforcement operations in Missouri.
If you would like to discuss a bill or understand how proposed legislation may affect communities in your district, your regional PCLC representative is available to connect.
