Former Ballwin Police Chief Kevin Scott is now the Director of Public Safety for Metro Transit. He joins the show to discuss efforts to increase safety, security and confidence in the Metro system.
Given the different law enforcement jurisdictions that cover the Metro rails and buses, Scott says a major focus is forming strong partnerships with everyone involved.
“For us to be successful… we want to make sure we have police elements in place when we need police elements to respond,” says Scott.
Addressing safety concerns, Scott says, “We have to resell this product. This is a huge asset to the St. Louis region.”
He outlines plans to reinforce safety and security to help better Metro Transit and the region as whole.
