“Mayor Lucas is deeply troubled by the second burglary at Betty Rae’s in just a few weeks. The Mayor is working closely with Kansas City’s state-appointed Board of Police Commissioners and Chief Graves to find ways to improve enforcement and increase overnight foot patrols in the River Market, Crossroads, and throughout the City. Mayor Lucas continues to introduce public safety strategies that are within his power as mayor, including bringing back a downtown booking and holding facility, supporting small businesses through the Back to Business grant program, facilitating a state behavioral health facility, and helping create SAVE KC, a focused deterrence program aimed at reducing crime. Mayor Lucas continues to believe Kansas City’s small business community is the heartbeat of our city and is committed to working to fight to keep them in business.”
