Officers' Record Request Denied

The Springfield Police Officers Association believes police are quitting more often than workers in other departments and that certain documents can show why.

The city has kept those documents — employee exit interviews — out of the association’s reach by denying a request under the Missouri Sunshine Law.

The association is expected to file a lawsuit challenging that denial tomorrow. It argues that, stripped of individual names, summaries of the exit interviews are public record.
