Missouri's Attorney General is investigating the St. Louis police board, appointed by Kehoe, after the police chief received a substantial raise.
St. Louis, MO, October 23, 2026 —
Missouri’s attorney general is investigating the St. Louis police board following a substantial raise for the city’s police chief, according to the available summary of the matter.
The board was appointed by Kehoe, whose first name and role were not provided. The summary does not identify the attorney general, the police chief, or the board members. It also does not state when the raise was approved, how much it was, or what circumstances led to the investigation.
The sequence described links the investigation to the raise in time, but the reason for the attorney general’s inquiry has not been specified. No allegations, findings, or conclusions about the board or the pay decision were included in the information provided. The investigation’s scope and status are also unknown.
Details about the board’s response, the police chief’s response, and any next steps were not provided. The available information does not say whether the raise remains in effect or whether the investigation has prompted any action. It therefore does not establish that the board or any individual violated a rule or law.
Further information would be needed to clarify what the attorney general is examining and how the board’s appointment relates to the inquiry. For now, the reported facts are limited to the existence of the investigation, the board’s appointment by Kehoe, and the police chief’s substantial raise preceding the inquiry.
