Interdepartmental Memorandum
DATE: August 15, 2012
TO: Chief Mills
Robin Littrell
FROM: Capt. Chris Skinrood
SUBJECT: Missouri Law Enforcement Funeral Assistance Team
Chief Mills and Robin,
The Missouri Law Enforcement Funeral Assistance Team was originally formed on the
eastern side of the State of Missouri. Following the death of Jeff Taylor, I along with Les
Kerr began the Kansas City Chapter. This team survives solely on donations and
contributions. The team will provide all needed funeral services to the CiTy of Riverside
at no cost in the event a public safety employee dies in the line of duty, off-duty or a
retiree passes. This service is not limited to just Riverside, it is available to the entire
Kansas City metro area including Kansas.
Since the team is so new, there is no operating budget to speak of and members of team
aze currently paying all expenses. The city was approached and agreed to donate $5,000
to the Funeral Assistance Team from the 2012-2013 budget.
We aze at this time requesting that the city enter an agreement with the funeral team for
services in the event of a public safety employee death.
Respectfully,
Chris Skinrood
Captain
Assistant Funeral Team Leader
Police Services
