Crash Reduction Project

The Lee's Summit Police Department is conducting a crash reduction project through June along 150 Highway.

What does this mean? Officers will be stopping vehicles for a variety of reasons that could potentially cause an accident. Some of the most common factors are following too closely, failure to yield, inattention and speed. Be sure to tell family and friends about this project and slow down!

Grant Awarded to Lee's Summit Parks and Recreation

Lee’s Summit Parks and Recreation has been awarded a $250,000 Recreational Trails Program Grant through the Missouri Department of Natural Resources Division of State Parks to support a future trail along Mouse Creek in south Lee’s Summit. This is the largest amount Parks and Recreation has received for a local trail project.

Safe Passage

Help for Substance Use Recovery Today

The Lee's Summit Police Department has partnered with behavioral health providers to provide a path to recovery for people seeking treatment for a substance use disorder.

Participation in the Safe Passage program is voluntary and begins when an individual requests help with a substance use disorder by calling 911, walking into police headquarters or approaching a police officer. Officers will immediately connect individuals to treatment and recovery resources.
