Do they need more cops at the State Capitol?

Maybe it’s time to bring the ‘Rent-a-Cops’ back to the State Capitol building. Jefferson City Rep. Dave Griffith says the small Capitol Police  force is spread too thin …      

You might remember the private security guards who manned checkpoints at the Capitol in the days after the 9-11 attacks. That crew was removed from the Capitol during budget battles in 2003. Increased security didn’t return until Governor Eric Greitens took office in 2017.
