I was researching my Grandfather's employment with the SLPD. The Librarian at the Police Department dug up records for me from the 30's and 40's. The address on my envelope she sent was: St Louis Police LIbrary 315 S Tucker Blvd. St Louis MO 63102 Her name is Barbara Miksicek (Librarian) Hope this helps....Bj (Conners) Bagwell Diane <[email protected]> wrote: While talking to the City Hall Archivist today, I learned that criminal records are available. She said that if you go to the Police Department at 12th and Clark and go to the First Floor, you can fill out a form and pay $9.00 and get a search of the criminal records done. You will not get access to the records - you will get the service of a person who will search the records for you. I am very interested in this, so if anyone has any luck doing this, please, please, please, e-mail me or the list and tell us! I know that there are several folks on the lists who have gangsters and other criminally colorful characters in their families who would love to be able to get a copy of their record. I also learned that the Police Academy has some records of St. Louis Police officers. I would recommend a phone call to the academy before going there. I know there are two people on this list who are trying to get info on St. Louis police officers. Maybe this is the answer. If you have any luck, let the list know! These days, I am recovering from surgery to my left foot and am not very mobile. Surgery to the right foot is right around the corner. I will not be able to make the one hour drive to the city from Hillsboro to get a search done-at least not in the near future. I especially would not like to get there, park and hobble into the building in cold weather only to discover that the records are not available. If anyone has success with this, please let me know. I will talk my long suffering husband into taking time off work and helping me get into the building to get the criminal records!

Dear Bj, Was your grandfather collecting a pension after 1956 or 1959? I was told that records prior to that were either lost or destroyed unless the person was currently working after that date or was collecting a pension. I was able to get my uncle's, my grandfather's and a great-uncle's records because two were collecting pensions and the other was an officer at that time period.
