The Lakeshire Police Department is committed to Community Oriented Policing.  There are eleven commissioned Officers including the Chief and one Sergeant.  All Officers are certified by the Missouri Police Officer Standards and Training Commission (POST).

The department provides 24-hour patrol and is staffed by seasoned professionals.  Most of the Officers are retired from large police departments and have a background in a variety of uniform patrol, investigations, and forensics experience.  There are no rookies on this force, so rest assured, if you call, the Officers responding have training or experience in every type of emergency situation.

The Department is committed to community policing and providing personal service.  We provide a tremendous amount of problem solving on an informal basis.  Let us know if we can assist you.

The Lakeshire Police Department takes a proactive approach to preventing crime.  A long-standing partnership exists between the citizens and the police officers.  Residents are encouraged to report any suspicious persons or activity. All complaints are investigated immediately with a normal response time of three minutes or less.

The police department is dispatched through an enhanced 911 system operated by the St. Louis County Police Communications Division. For non-emergency police response, citizens can contact our dispatch service at 314-889-2341.  Our office number is 314-631-4670.  Please leave a message if no Officers are in the station.

The department has state-of-the art computer equipment and technology.  The new police cars have Mobile Data Terminals capable of communicating with the dispatcher, police office, and County Police field units.  People and vehicles can be entered into the system from the car to obtain license information, fugitive, and arrest status.  Photos can be downloaded in seconds.

We participate in operation “Child Safe”, a nationwide firearms safety education and gunlock program.  Free gunlocks are available to residents.  There is no charge, no questions asked, and no strings attached!

Going on vacation or away for a few days?  The police department will check your residence three times a day.  Be sure to stop your mail.  If unexpected packages are left at your door the Officers will bring them to the station awaiting your return. Newspapers are picked-up and flyers are removed.

Please complete a Vacation Check form.   The form can be downloaded from this site or picked-up at the Community Center. Place the completed form in the mail slot in the front door of the Community Center.

Owners of multi family apartment units are counseled on the best methods for tenant screening and selection.  Call the Chief to make an appointment to discuss the best industry standards. 

The department will soon acquire an Automatic External Defibrillator (AED) a life saving tool used to restart the heart in the event of cardiac arrest.  A few moments can mean the difference between life and death.  Since the police response is a few minutes faster than our fine ambulance service, those moments can mean the difference between life and death.
