⚡📸 Talk about being in the right place at the right time! One of our officers captured this incredible lightning shot while out on patrol.

Storms may bring dangerous conditions, but they can also create some amazing views across our community. Great catch by our officer — and a good reminder to stay weather aware and drive safely during storms! 🌩️🚔

🚗🔥 Don’t Let a Quick Stop Turn Dangerous 🔥🚗

It doesn’t take long for the inside of a parked car to become deadly—even on mild days. Cracking the windows or parking in the shade does not make it safe.

🌡️ On a 75° day, your car can reach 100°+ in minutes!
🐾 Dogs can’t cool themselves as we do—heatstroke happens fast!
👶 Children are even more vulnerable and can suffer serious harm or worse!

If you wouldn’t sit in a parked car that is turned off, neither should they.

👉 Always take your kids and pets with you when leaving a vehicle parked.
👉 Double-check your back seat before locking up.
👉 If you see a child or pet in distress, call 911 immediately.

We know errands keep us busy and can be distracting, but nothing is more important than a life.

When in doubt—get them out. 🐶👶💙

💥 Memorial Day 💥
This Memorial Day, we pause to honor and remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country.

Their courage, dedication, and selflessness will never be forgotten.

As you spend time with family and friends, please take a moment to reflect on the true meaning of Memorial Day and honor those who gave everything for our freedom.

Our administrative services & court will be closed today. Our police services are always available, call 911 for emergencies or 816.969.7390, Option 7 for non-emergencies.

🔒 Lock It or Lose It 🚗
It only takes seconds for someone to check a car door handle. Don’t make it easy.

Before you head inside for the night (or even just run into a store), take a moment to:
• Lock your vehicle doors
• Remove valuables (purses, wallets, fi****ms, electronics, golf clubs)
• Take your keys/fob with you
• Close your garage doors
• Park in well-lit areas when possible

Most vehicle thefts and break-ins happen because doors are left unlocked and valuables are left in plain sight.

👀 A quick check now can save you a big headache later.

⚠️ We’ve received a large number of questions, emails, and calls for service lately regarding the legality of e-bikes, minibikes, electric dirt bikes, scooters, and just about every other “two-wheeled thing with a motor” showing up on our roadways. We are also receiving daily reports of young riders operating these e-motos in heavy traffic and near intersections, creating dangerous situations and close calls with vehicles. The attached images are examples of incidents regarding these e-motos.

📃As technology evolves, the laws don’t always keep pace, so we want to help clear up some confusion — especially regarding electric motorcycles / e-motos, which are becoming a major safety concern in our community.

🚲 E-Bikes
E-bikes are bicycles equipped with pedals and an electric pedal-assist motor. The rider still pedals the bike while receiving assistance from the motor. These can reach speeds up to and beyond 28mph.
🏍️ Electric Motorcycles / Dirt Bikes (E-Motos)
These do NOT have pedals (some exceptions). They use foot pegs like a traditional motorcycle and are powered solely by an electric motor.
❌ This type of electric motorcycle or dirt bike is NOT legal to operate on city streets in the City of Lee’s Summit, unless it is properly licensed and registered like any other motorcycle. They are also not allowed to be in Lee's Summit Parks or on sidewalks.

To legally operate one on public roadways, the rider must:
✅ Be at least 16 years old
✅ Have a valid driver’s license with motorcycle endorsement
✅ Carry liability insurance
✅ Display valid license plates
✅ Pass Missouri motorcycle inspection requirements
**Without formal motorcycle training, young riders are at high risk of collisions with cars or pedestrians.**

Basically, EVERYTHING else falls into one of two categories:
🏍️ Motorized Cycles / Scooters
or
🏍️ Motor Vehicles (Motorcycles)

The difference comes down to speed and power:
• Motorized Cycles
🔹 Under 50cc (gas)
🔹 Less than 3 horsepower for electric models
🔹 Cannot exceed 30 mph
• Motorized Scooters
🔹 Cannot exceed 20 mph

🎯 Our goal is education, safety, and injury prevention. We understand kids want to be outside and enjoy the freedom and mobility these devices provide. Still, we want everyone to understand the safety risks and legal requirements before someone gets seriously injured.
