Misconduct is supposed to be reported to the Missouri Department of Public Safety, but sometimes it takes years for that to happen — if it’s ever done. Police department officials aren’t required to report misconduct within a certain amount of time and face no consequences for failing to do so. Missouri isn’t a state that automatically revokes a police license when an officer is convicted of a serious crime.
