Margaret Donnelly calls on St. Louis Police Board to ask for new Independent Investigation
The Citizens of St. Louis deserve to know all of the facts
ST. LOUIS – Representative Margaret Donnelly called on the St. Louis Police Board to immediately ask for a new independent investigation into the use of impounded cars by police and by Police Chief Joe Mokwa’s daughter. “The people deserve a thorough and independent investigation and today I am calling on the Police Board of St. Louis to ask the State Highway Patrol to do that investigation” said Margaret Donnelly.
Recent revelations involving Police Department practices and Chief of Police Mokwa’s role in the use of impounded vehicles have raised serious concerns. Even though an independent investigation had previously occurred, new information as reported in the Post Dispatch about the police chief’s role suggests that all of the facts have yet to come out. “ The citizens of St. Louis need to have confidence restored in their police department and the way to accomplish that is for the Police Board to initiate a new investigation with all of the new information thoroughly reviewed,” concluded Donnelly.
Representative Donnelly is a candidate for Attorney General.

Call in the FEDS! Fixing the numbers, stealing tickets, stealing money, sweet heart deals, and continuing to have LE on the eastern side of Missouri covering for his daughter. Mowka and the Police Board need to be removed! Slay needs to get involved with this and quit trying to destroy SLPS.

You’ve got to be kidding!Is Donnely willing to support local control of the StLPD? Koster got the squablin cops endorsement and Harris is the only one who stood up in JC and said that StL should control the SLMPD. If the City had control this would have never have happened.
