Riverview Police Temporarily Furloughed | St. Louis News

Riverview’s police force is on temporary furlough—no pay, no patrols—as the city grapples with a deepening financial crisis. Officers heard rumors their jobs were over, but the interim chief clarified it’s just a short-term pause, possibly lasting up to 90 days until an audit reveals the full scope of the budget woes. City Hall is shuttered, and other employees are also unpaid. In the meantime, St. Louis County cops are stepping in to handle 911 calls, while Riverview officers may lend a hand using their local expertise. The interim chief remains hopeful: once the finances stabilize, the department will be back on duty. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
