The primary responsibility of the Public Information staff is to distribute information reflecting the activities and performance of the Department to the public by way of print, broadcast and electronic media. The Office is also responsible for the maintenance and use of the Department's website, social media channels, press releases and inter-department bi-weekly newsletter. 

Members of the media who need assistance with information and story development on news and events involving the St. Louis County police should send an email to the Office or call the office phone number.

The Office of Public Relations is staffed Monday-Friday from 8 a.m.- 4:30 p.m.  A Communications Supervisor will contact the Media Relations Staff  for significant incidents after hours. Media is encouraged to contact the Communications Supervisor at (636) 529-8210 after-hours for extreme matters of public safety and critical incidents. 

The Office is closed on weekends/holidays unless there is a matter of public safety, a critical missing person, or a critical incident. Routine media inquiries received on weekends/holidays will be answered as soon as possible by the on-call Public Information Officer. 

It is our goal to provide the media with information upon request.   Availability of reports is dependent upon the provisions of the Sunshine Law (RSMo Chapter 610). Sunshine Requests MUST BE SUBMITTED IN WRITING to our Keeper of Records.
