As the city of St. Louis moves toward equipping police officers with body cameras, what will the price tag be for taxpayers? Mayor Lyda Krewson's Director of Operations Todd Waelterman says it will cost $5 million a year to maintain the system, manage the data, and review footage. Host Ryan Wrecker questions the safeguards against slippery city politics that could have led to this spending. Next, we know there are still violence issues in St. Louis. Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at Oklahoma University Dr. Sara Coffey, co-author of a national study on violence, explains instances of mass national crime, high profile cases, issues affecting St. Louis locally and possible prevention plans. Last but certainly not least, hear KMOX News reporter Kevin Killeen’s newest “Whole ‘Nother Story” that focuses on the honor system at workplace open vending markets.
