On this week’s In Focus Missouri, host Lori Chung talks to local and state lawmakers on the state control takeover of St. Louis policing.

Spectrum News reporter Stef Manisero kicks off the show with a one-on-one interview with State Senator Karla May, who talks about why she disagrees with the state’s decision to turn over power from local to state police in St. Louis.

This is followed by an interview with State Representative Brad Christ, who discusses why the turn over is beneficial and will make an impact on crime in the city.

And finally, St. Louis Mayor Tishuara Jones joins to share why she thinks the move is a bad idea and how the city of St. Louis is seeing an all time low in crime rates.
