LaCygne police release encouraging report

 LCPD Community Update – Keeping You Informed

We’re proud to share the latest statistics through 3 quarters, as we continue our mission to serve and protect with Transparency, Ethics, and Professionalism.

Crime Statistics

Year to date, we maintain a 97% clearance rate on reported crimes. We’ve achieved a 100% clearance rate in crimes against persons, society, and property. The only exceptions are two theft cases that unfortunately remain unsolved.

Additionally, officers have served 28 arrest warrants, helping bring those cases closer to justice and accountability. Notably 28 is already 10 more arrests than 2024’s total and 20 more than 2023!

Traffic Stop Statistics

Of all traffic stops conducted, only 12% have resulted in citations. This reflects our department’s focus on education, awareness, and voluntary compliance, rather than punitive enforcement. But also, our dedication to High Visibility Patrol efforts.

Community Services Completed

70 Informational Reports

60 VIN Inspections

50 Fingerprinting or Off-Highway Vehicle (OHV) Inspections

478 Calls for Service, not resulting in a report or otherwise duplicated.

We have also conducted 370 area/building checks as part of a concentrated effort to ensure every part of town receives consistent patrol coverage, while also allowing officers to become more familiar with our neighborhoods and businesses, and to ensure they are properly secure.

We’re proud of the work our team does every day to build trust and keep our community safe. Thank you for your continued support!

For clarification, a "clearance" or "cleared case" is when probable cause is developed for suspect(s), which could result in an arrest, no charges filed at the request of the victim, or the suspect(s) is not prosecutable.

Obituary - Pat Morris

Pat Morris, 90 of Amsterdam, Missouri peacefully, surrounded by loved ones at St. Luke’s Rehab & Memory Care in Carthage, Missouri. Graveside services will be held at 1:00 pm Monday, July 21, 2025 in Scott Cemetery, Amsterdam, Missouri. Services under the direction of Mullinax Funeral Home, Buter (660-679-0009). Memorial contributions may be made in lieu of flowers, to Cure Alzheimer’s Fund, 34 Washington St. Suite 230, Wellesley Hills, MA 02481. Messages of condolence may be left for the family at www.mullinaxfuneralhome.com.

Patsy Lou Strong Morris was born November 8, 1934 in Cape Girardeau, Missouri, the daughter of Elwood and Edna Patterson Strong. She was a wonderful and loving mother, wife and grandmother. Her first priority was always her children. During her marriage to her first husband, Charles E. Smith, she gave birth to 5 sons and 1 daughter; Richard, Jim, Ronnie, Connie, Mike and John. They lived on the family farm in LaCygne, Kansas where Pat welcomed his 4 sons; Art, Gary, Danny and Steve, into their family. She raised Danny and Steve as her own, after their mother died. After Charles died in 1961, Pat remained on the family farm with their 8 children.

During the following years, Pat met G.W. Morris, and they were married in 1966. They sold the family farm in LaCygne and moved to a farm in Amsterdam, Missouri, where G.W. was raising his 3 children. Along with her full-time job as a mother, Pat was known for her kind and compassionate heart and her beautiful voice. She was part of the church choir and often sang duets with her good friend Eleanor at special church events, as well as many “family karaoke sessions” over the years with Ronnie, John and Connie. After raising their combined children, Pat continued to give back. She worked at area care facilities after earning her certification as an Accredited Nurse Aid. In 2016, after successfully working and farming for 49 years, Pat and G.W. retired and moved to Carl Junction, Missouri.

Pat is survived by two children; Connie Smith and John Smith as well as her husband, G.W. Morris, two step-children, Shelly Sims and Carl Morris, plus numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

LaCygne promotes Officer Marino to full time

It is our pleasure to announce the appointment of Officer John Marino to a full-time position with the La Cygne Police Department.

Officer Marino has been a part-time member of the department since September 2024 and has consistently demonstrated his commitment to the community. With his invaluable experience in law enforcement, including eight years of service in the Wyandotte County area and his tenure in the Army Reserves, Officer Marino is well-equipped to excel in his new role.

LaCygne to get automated license plate recognition equipment

 In our ongoing commitment to improving the safety and security of our community, the La Cygne Police Department is pleased to announce that we have successfully received two grants to FULLY FUND the installation of Automated License Plate Recognition (ALPRs) on our city streets.

License Plate Reader technology has been an effective tool in modern law enforcement for over a decade. These systems play a critical role in criminal investigations by capturing and processing vehicle license plates in real time.

The implementation of ALPRs in La Cygne will enhance our investigative recourses to help solve, prevent, and detect crimes, which otherwise leave our community victimized. Importantly, these efforts are 100% grant-funded, ensuring no financial burden on our local taxpayers.

We understand the importance of balancing public safety with privacy. As such, we are committed to ensuring this technology is used ethically and responsibly, in accordance with state and federal laws, and most importantly, with transparency to our residents.

ALPRs were considered after a thorough review of previous unsolved cases to identify what tools or technologies might have improved results or expedited the investigations. In many of these cases, traditional digital investigative methods such as cellular triangulation and geo-fencing produced limited or no actionable results. This is largely due to La Cygne’s rural and valley geography, which do not generate the volume of data needed for these technologies to be effective. ALPR technology, by contrast, offers a more reliable solution tailored to the unique needs of our community.

Thank you to First Option Bank, the Louis and Dolpha Baehr Foundation, and the Kid VanVlack Foundation14 for making this possible.

Thank you for your continued support as we work to make La Cygne a safer place for all. Should you have any questions or wish to learn more about this initiative, please do not hesitate to contact us directly.

A word of caution from the LaCygne police department

 

Within the past week, La Cygne Animal Control has responded to two raccoons exhibiting symptoms consistent with Canine Distemper (not transmittable to humans). Cases of such are common and tend to rise in spring and early fall, making this a timely reminder for pet owners to update vaccinations as the virus spreads through airborne exposure (coughing and sneezing) and by sharing food and water bowls.

What You Can Do:

Vaccinate your pets. Keeping up with your pet’s vaccinations is the most effective way to prevent infection.

Report sick or strangely behaving wildlife, which appear disoriented or unsteady in their movements, with discharge from their eyes and nose, and do not approach them. Contact La Cygne Animal Control for assistance, 913-757-2144.

Avoid contact between your pets and wild animals. Keep dogs on leashes and supervise outdoor time, especially near wooded areas.
