Safer Missouri, Stronger Missouri

Co-sign the Missouri Chamber’s letter asking lawmakers to address crime in our state.

Sign our petition

To Gov. Mike Parson and the members of the General Assembly,

Missouri’s business community strongly urges legislative action to address crime in our state. We cannot expect our state or economy to thrive when Missouri ranks in the top ten states in violent crime and property crime.

Crime significantly impacts the quality of life for Missourians, but it also impacts our economy. Crime puts customers, employees and company property at risk. Simply put, employers will not stay or expand in states or communities ridden with crime.

The Missouri Chamber’s statewide public safety report, Safer Missouri, Stronger Missouri, contains strategies and recommendations to reduce crime and improve our economic competitiveness and the quality of life for Missourians. It was created with input from leaders in law enforcement, criminal justice, health and social services.

The business community supports legislation stemming from these recommendations, including:

  • Deploying evidence-based and hot-spot approaches to crime reduction
  • Increasing and protecting tools to support policing
  • Addressing substance misuse and mental health
  • Reducing recidivism
  • Improving training and employment opportunities for incarcerated individuals
  • Increasing public safety staffing
  • Increasing prosecutorial consistency and transparency

It’s crucial that we work together to ensure Missouri is open – and safe – for business.
