The Downtown Kansas City P&L District loses about 15 MILLION BUCKS worth of taxpayer cash EVERY YEAR. So another $100K isn't really exorbitant if it helps keep the place safe. "Kansas City is committed to ensuring that our downtown is a safe and welcoming place for everyone at all hours," KCMO Mayor Quinton Lucas said in a statement on Wednesday. "By strengthening police presence, adding new private security resources, and working alongside private partners like Copaken Brooks, we are taking meaningful action to ensure the safety of all." The City also is entering into a $100,000 contract to support additional funding for private security downtown, according to a press release from Mayor Lucas.
