Ed Elder, a member of the Kansas City Board of Police Commissioners, resigned from his position, as announced by Mayor Quinton Lucas. Elder, who was appointed by Missouri Gov. Mike Parson in June, has a background in real estate and served as the president of the Colliers Kansas City office. Lucas expressed his gratitude for Elder’s service, noting his dedication to public safety and strategic insights.
Although the reason for Elder’s resignation is unclear, Lucas stated that he looks forward to working with Governor-elect Mike Kehoe to appoint a new commissioner who will address key public safety challenges in Kansas City. These challenges include the 911 crisis, property offenses, and reducing gun violence. As the city awaits the appointment of a new commissioner, the focus remains on ensuring the safety and well-being of the community.
