Oakview Police Department

There is water line break in the 1100 Block of Lindberg. KC Water has been notified and is on the way to evaluate the situation.

After a very short break, more snow is headed our way overnight. This wave WILL affect the morning commute in most of the state tomorrow. Limit your travel duri...ng the snowfall! If you MUST travel in these conditions, remember: Buckle up. Leave early and take it SLOW. Give snowplows room to work--don't try to pass! Check current conditions before you go at traveler.modot.org.

This says it all...

On behalf of Chief Drowns and the officer of the Oakview Police Department we wish you a safe and happy Thanksgiving!

UPDATE 11/27/20 GREAT NEWS! The children have been located and are SAFE with police. We’re working with the Division of Family Services to find the safest place...ment for them moving forward. UPDATE 11/26/2020 The FBI is now offering a $5,000 reward for information on the whereabouts of Avontay and Kelvontae. Please call us if you know where they are. ** UPDATE** 11/25/2020 We are currently investigating the case with missing children, Avontay Reed (b/m 11/16/2013) and Kelvontae Cooper (b/m 11/27/2015). We became aware yesterday the children were not with their mother or their aunt, their current caretaker. We are talking with family, friends and the Children’s Division, who has custody of the children. The family does not believe the children are in peril. We have learned there are historical facts indicating the mother has taken the children on several occasions and voluntarily given them to other caretakers. We have no indication the children were abducted, therefore an Amber Alert is not applicable at this time. We are still committed to finding the children. If you have any information please call 911 or the KCPD Juvenile Section at 816-234-5150. ----------------------------------------------------------------- MISSING/ENDANGERED Avontay Reed b/m 11/16/2013, 100 lbs 4’7 last seen wearing a black coat, gray shirt, blue jeans, black shoes Kelvontae Cooper b/m 11/27/2015, 90 lbs 4’4 last seen wearing a black coat, white shirt with red and black writing, blue jeans, and brown shoes.

As research and development of multiple COVID-19 vaccines continue to show promising safety and effectiveness findings, we announced the launch of a new vaccine... website for Missouri residents. Visit MOStopsCOVID.com to get info about the safety of the vaccines, research and production processes, and when they may be eligible for vaccination. It’s been remarkable to learn about the work that has been going on for many months now among scientists and researchers, many of whom are right here in Missouri. The most important thing we’ve learned about the accelerated development process is that steps have not been eliminated but are instead occurring simultaneously. Safety is not being sacrificed, and it’s important for Missourians to understand this. The new website includes answers to common questions Missouri residents may have, such as when they will be able to receive the vaccine and how well it works. It also clarifies misinformation that citizens may have heard about the vaccines.
