Felgate, Chief of Police ellisville police department page 2 MESSAGE FROM THE CHIEF OF POLICE MESSAGE FROM THE CHIEF OF POLICE Mr. Mayor, Council Members, City Manager, and citizens of Ellisville, I’m once again pleased to present you with the Ellisville Police Department’s Annual Report. Unlike in the past, I will defer M any recognition of highlighted accomplishments in this letter to the reader for review in the body of this report so that I may first address law enforcement in general, and secondly, the Ellisville Police Department. Over the past year all of us have watched the media focus on officer involved shootings, most justified and some not, as well as police abuse of power and/or improper interaction with the citizenry. Police officers have been categorized by some politicians and pundits, as well as the media, as a group of racists and out of control renegade cops mistreating, and even killing citizens indiscriminately. Even one case such as this is one too many but, in reality, the vast majority of police officers are dedicated to serving and protecting the public regardless of social status or ethnicity. They follow the rule of equal protection under the law, living their sworn oath and yes, willing to make the ultimate sacrifice so that society may remain a safe haven. This is the calling of a police officer. The Ellisville Police Department continues to serve and protect our community with professionalism, integrity and dedication to service in addition to offering established community policing programs. Most importantly, in today’s society, we recognize that police officers need more engagement with the community as a way of breaking down the barriers that separate us from those we serve. Essential in our mission is the support and respect
