In addition to providing traditional police services, the St. John Police Department also offers special services.

Extra Watch on Patrol

Contact our department when problems or circumstances exist where the resident would like additional patrols at their residence. Domestic problems, family death, disgruntled employees, etc. are often reported and require additional follow-up patrols.

Checking on Our Residents (COORS)

The City of St. John cares about the residents of our community. We especially try to look out for senior citizens and residents with special needs. However before we can help, we must identify these residents.

If you fall into one of the above categories, or know someone who does, please stop by City Hall and pick up a Project COOR registration form, call by phone (314-427-8700, ext. Number 5) and a form can be mailed to you, or access the print COOR registration form (PDF). The information on the form will be used to identify and contact our residents during times of power outages and / or natural disasters. Once contacted, we can provide you with water, transportation to climate controlled shelters, and notify your relatives of your whereabouts and needs. Be assured that your personal information will not be provided to anyone outside of the St. John City Hall.

Bicycle Helmets

Helmets are available for purchase from the St. John Police Department for $8 each. All helmets meet required safety standards and are available in a variety of sizes and colors. Bicyclists under the age of 17 are required by law to wear protective headgear. Bring your children to the police station where an officer will assist you in getting the proper fitting helmet.

The Club - Steering Wheel Lock

Anti-theft devices are available for purchase from the Police Department for $20 each. These steering wheel locks are also known as "The Club." They are easily installed on your vehicle's steering wheel; thereby making the vehicle inoperable. Residents are encouraged to utilize the club to help prevent auto thefts in our community.

Free Gun Locks

Speakers for Club Functions
