The body cam tells a different story.

🚦 TRAFFIC TIP TUESDAY 🚦

Coming to check out Merriam’s new Trader Joe’s? 🛒🌺 If you’re heading our way on I-35 North, you’ve got options!

Consider using the 67th Street, Johnson Drive or Antioch Road exits — they’re all about a mile or less from Trader Joe’s.

Getting across all those lanes on Shawnee Mission Parkway to make the left turn can be tricky, especially with extra opening-week traffic. Give yourself a little more room (and maybe save yourself a little stress 😅) by taking an alternate route.

Drive safe, Merriam — and enjoy those snacks! 🚔

This was a drunk driving crash in May of this year. And it was preventable.

This week, Merriam officers are increasing enforcement as part of the STEP campaign.

Make the right choice before you ever get behind the wheel. Drive sober.

New drone. First mission. Successful outcome. 🚔🚁

Our new drone was recently deployed to help locate a fleeing suspect — and it did exactly what it was designed to do. Officers were able to safely locate and apprehend the suspect using an extra set of eyes from above.

Even better? Half the cost of this new technology was covered through grant funding.
