Dave Buck's "Remarks from the Community & Visitors" at Webster Groves City Council
Regular Meeting, 5/19/26

Caution: This is an External Message - Please be cautious when opening links or attachments
"Sometimes, it just takes a well-chosen song to help make the point that Webster Groves is LOSING a growing
number of empty nester seniors like me (I'm 73) to other nearby cities due to a dire shortage of downsized condos
and townhouses.
(SONG: "Somewhere" from the musical, "West Side Story")

"There's a place for us,
Somewhere a place for us,
Peace and quiet and open air,
Wait for us somewhere.
There's a time for us,
Someday a time for us,
Time together with time to spare,
Time to learn, time to care,
Someday! Somewhere!
We'll find a new way of living,
We'll find a way of forgiving,
Somewhere.
There's a place for us,
A time and place for us,
Hold my hand and we're half-way there,
Hold my hand and I'll take you there,
Somehow! Someday!
Somewhere!"
Post-Script: The dominant national (if not global) demographic MEGATREND is our aging population. Leading
demographers predict that no later than 2035, America's Older Population (65 years and older) will OUTNUMBER
our country's Youth (18 years and younger) for the FIRST TIME in US History over 250 years - with declining birth
rates and increased life expectancy two of the major contributing factors.

Providing Excellent
Customer Service
• Core Values: Excellence, Teamwork, and Mentorship.
• Emphasis on Retention through Training, Community Engagement,
and Accountability.
• Becoming a Destination Department promotes long-term
organizational stability and reduces operational costs over time.
By investing in employee development through quality training,
mentorship, and a positive organizational culture, the department
is better positioned to retain high-performing personnel and
minimize the significant financial and operational costs associated
with continual turnover and recruitment. In addition, well-trained
and professionally developed officers are more effective in
decision-making, risk management, and community interactions,
which helps reduce exposure to civil liability, litigation, and other
avoidable costs.

Leather Equipment

Soft Body Armor

The department requests funding to
purchase new or replace worn and
damaged leather duty gear, including belts
and holsters, which are essential for safely
carrying critical equipment. Daily use leads
to inevitable wear that can compromise
functionality, retention, and officer safety.
Regular replacement ensures officers
maintain secure, professional, and reliable
gear needed to perform their duties
effectively while upholding uniform
standards.

The department requests funding for the
replacement of soft body armor to ensure
officers are protected with equipment that
meets current safety standards. Body armor
has a limited service life and degrades over
time due to daily wear and environmental
exposure, reducing its effectiveness. Timely
replacement is critical to maintaining officer
safety, supporting risk mitigation, and
ensuring all personnel are equipped with
reliable, properly fitted protective gear while
performing their duties.

Flock Cameras

TASER Replacement

Funding will support the continued use of
Flock cameras, am essential investigative
tool that helps us prevent and respond to
dangerous criminal activity. We have access
to sic (6) cameras located at key
intersections throughout WG, providing
real-time and historical data that assists in
identifying suspects, locating vehicles of
interest, and developing invetigative leads.
Maintaining this capability strengthens our
ability to deter crime, enhance situational
awareness, and improve overall public
safety outcomes.

We are requesting funding to replace end-oflife conducted energy weapons (expired in
2017, purchased in 2012) because they are no
longer supported or reliable. Tasers are a
critical less-lethal tool that help officers safely
resolve dangerous situations, reduce injuries to
officers and subjects, and decrease the need
for higher levels of force. Replacing them
ensures our personnel have dependable
equipment to protect the community while
maintaining safe and effective operations,

FY27 CAPITAL IMPROVMENTS
Vehicles

Emergency
Lights/Radio Boxes

The department seeks funding for three new
hybrid patrol vehicles to maintain a safe,
reliable, and efficient fleet for frontline
officers. With a current inventory of 21
squads, a consistent replacement cycle of at
least three vehicles per year is necessary to
ensure operational readiness and officer
safety. Vehicles designated for patrol typically
exceed 100,000 miles or six years of service
before replacement, at which point
maintenance costs rise and reliability declines.
Investing in hybrid squads not only supports
sustainability goals through improved fuel
efficiency, but also reduces long-term
operating costs while ensuring officers have
dependable equipment to effectively serve the
community.

We seek funding to replace up to three sets of
emergency lighting and radio equipment to
ensure uninterrupted patrol operations in the
event of vehicle damage or equipment failure.
These critical components are essential for
officer safety, communication, and emergency
response. Budgeting for three replacement
sets at $3,000 each, totaling $9,000, ensures
the department can quickly restore full
functionality to affected squads without
disruption to service.
