National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week (NPSTW) is held annually during the second week of April to honor public safety telecommunicators for their commitment, service, and sacrifice.

Clinton signed Presidential Proclamation 6667, declaring the second week of April as NPSTW. This week is a time to celebrate and thank telecommunications personnel across the nation who serve our communities, citizens, and public safety personnel 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
We are honored to have an amazing team of dispatchers. Thank you for all you do.
Take time to thank your local telecommunicator!

Strong to potentially severe storms are possible this evening and overnight, mainly along and south of I-70. While a tornado or two can’t be ruled out, the most likely hazard will be from damaging winds as a line of storms moves from west to east across the area. In addition to the damaging wind threat associated with a line of storms, non-thunderstorm winds will gust as high as 50 mph through Monday morning in eastern KS and western MO and Monday afternoon in central and eastern MO. This system will also bring locally heavy rainfall to far northeastern KS and northwestern MO and localized flooding is possible in those areas.

140-YEAR SENTENCE FOLLOWING GUILTY VERDICT
Jaciel Mendez-Morales, 23, was found guilty by a Lafayette County jury of two counts of R**e in the First Degree, two counts of So**my in the First Degree and two counts of Kidnapping in the First Degree following a three-day jury trial litigated by Lafayette County Prosecuting Attorney Kristen Ellis Hilbrenner. On December 19, 2022, following the recommendation of the jury, the defendant was sentenced to life in prison on each count of R**e in the First Degree, thirty years on each of the So**my charges, and ten years on each of the Kidnapping charges. All of those sentences will run consecutively for a total of 140 years in the Missouri Department of Corrections. Because they are considered “dangerous felonies”, the defendant will have to serve 85% of each sentence before he will be eligible for parole.
Charges were filed against Mendez-Morales and two other individuals after officers from the Higginsville Police Department and Homeland Security were dispatched to the Super 8 Motel at the junction of Interstate 70 and 13 Hwy. When agents and officers made entry into a room at the motel, they located two partially n**e females as well as three males. After further investigation, it was determined the girls were being transported from Arizona, where they had entered the country, to their families in New Jersey. When the group got to Lafayette County, the driver decided to stop at the Super 8 so he, Mendez-Morales and the third male could drink. At some point that night, the driver determined he was not being paid enough for the trip and he and Mendez-Morales contacted the girls’ families to demand more money. When the families indicated they didn’t have the thousands of dollars the defendant was demanding, Mendez-Morales and the driver hit and kicked the girls and threatened to kill them or sell them as prostitutes. After numerous phone calls were made, Mendez-Morales and the other two men r***d and sodomized both girls. The girls were both 20 years old at the time of the offenses.
Following the trial and sentencing, Prosecutor Hilbrenner stated, “This is the kind of case I never expected to have to prosecute, and I hope to never have another one like it again. These young women endured incredibly horrific crimes, which physically and emotionally traumatized them and changed their lives forever. Additionally, the driver, Alain Camarillo-Linan, and Mendez-Morales both re-traumatized the girls by putting them through two separate jury trials. Even after all of that, the girls expressed extreme gratitude for the Higginsville Police Department and Lafayette County for the work they did on their behalf. I am also grateful for and proud of the hard work done on behalf of these victims, by law enforcement and by the jury. Once again, Lafayette County has shown that criminal behavior will not be tolerated here.”
Aggressive driving includes traffic offenses like following too closely, speeding, improper passing, and failing to abide by traffic signs. According to the Missouri Coalition for Roadway Safety, 40% of traffic fatalities in Missouri involved excessive speed, the most common contributor to aggressive driving. The risk of being involved in a fatal crash increases by 24% when speeds increase by only 5 mph.
