JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (KMIZ) A committee of Missouri House and Senate members say communication with Capitol Police has been an issue. The lawmakers met Thursday as the Joint Committee on Capitol Security with Gov.-elect Mike Kehoe's inauguration just days away. Members told ABC 17 News on Friday that they are concerned about Capitol security in general but also ahead of Monday's inauguration. "The committee was set up statutorily to give the authority to ensure that the security and the parameters of security were up to our [The Missouri General Assembly] liking and making sure that we were being protected as an elected official body," said state Sen. Rick Brattin, chair of the Joint Committee on Capitol Security. In an interview with ABC 17 News, Brattin explained that Capitol Police had failed to communicate the multi-agency security plan for the inauguration to the General Assembly's sergeant at arms and security detail. Agencies involved in the security plan for Monday's Inauguration include the Missouri State Highway Patrol, Jefferson City Police Department, state park rangers and conservation agents, said Zim Schwartze, chief of Missouri Capitol Police. "The biggest key factor is that communication across departments and all of that to ensure everybody's able to be on the same wavelength," Brattin said. "And you're not even willing to talk to our security that is duly elected by us. They swear an oath, the same oath that a law enforcement officer does for that protection factor." The General Assembly's security detail are not licensed peace officers. However, Brattin said that doesn't mean that legislative security is unqualified. "Most of these guys were retired, or were at some time P.O.S.T certified. But regardless, they are security and they are a key tool that they can be utilized and not excluded," Brattin said. Brattin and Senate President Pro Tem Cindy O'Laughlin said that the committee and Missouri Capitol Police, represented by Schwartze, came to a resolution on the issue. Schwartze testified during a closed part of the meeting, breaking down the security plan for Inauguration Day. "We were able to really dive into exactly what are your security measures? What's this going to look like? And how many, who all is going to be there?" Brattin said. "They definitely have all the T's crossed and all the I's dotted." In a written statement to ABC 17 News, O'Laughlin said "yesterday’s hearing was an important step toward addressing these issues, ensuring greater clarity, and improving the coordination needed to protect everyone who works in and visits the Capitol." Brattin said the committee and Capitol police came to a general consensus by the end of the meeting to keep communication a priority moving forward.
