If you'd have led with that, my response would have been different and actually constructive.

Have you contacted the city counsel, our state representative's office, the office of the missouri attorney general, or local media outlets (ky3, kolr10, ozarksfirst, etc)? Each of these avenues could put pressure on the PD if you pursue talking to them. Shit takes time, but if you haven't tried any of these yet I would recommend doing so.
