The St. Louis Police Officer’s Association recently completed their elections and I would like to extend my congratulations to Sergeant Ron Oldani on being chosen as the new President. I would also like to extend my best wishes to outgoing President, Sergeant Gary Wiegert.

Our Organization is currently looking at the issue of Collective Bargaining. We were advised that discussions have been taking place with other organizations and the Mayor’s Office about reaching a collective bargaining agreement. This issue is and should be of concern to us as a management group. While there is currently no official position taken, I feel it is imperative that all stakeholders be given the opportunity to meet and discuss its impact. This topic certainly will be addressed at our Board of Director’s meeting this month.

The House and Senate have voted to override the Governor’s veto of the Concealed Carry Weapons Law. This law takes effect this month. It goes without saying that each of us should be conversing with our officers and encouraging them to be mindful of their tactics. I would hope that we are already proceeding in a safe and prudent manner and that this will have little impact upon the mindset and approach we are taking.

The next legislative session is quickly approaching. I anticipate that we will have several proposals that will be prioritized and submitted this year. We have not heard of any proposals being submitted by other members or organizations at this point and I hope to meet with Sergeant Oldani and his legislative staff to see what commonalties we have. As always, we welcome input from our members and affiliates.

If the organization or I can be of any assistance, please let me know. Be safe.

Sincerely,

Greg Wurm

President, SLPLO
