MO: Planned Merger of St. Louis and Airport Police Seems to be on Hold
June 11, 2018
City officials have set aside — perhaps permanently — a plan to merge the St. Louis Lambert Airport police into the city police department.
The merger had been announced in 2014 but prolonged disputes over retirement benefits, pay and other matters stalled the move.
As part of the planned transition, three city police commanders had been moved to the airport.
