         Chief Jim Fritz will represent the Affton Fire Protection District and Captain Christopher Stocker will represent the St. Louis County Police. They will give us an overview of the two agencies, the services they provide and the equipment they have available. You will also have the opportunity to learn about the common abuses of 9-1-1. The Chief will address the number of calls they make each month and the percentage of EMS calls. Chief Fritz will also talk about several honors they received recently. Captain Stocker will discuss whether crime is up or down from last year & what types of crime are the most prevalent. The 3rd Precinct covers the Affton area and several local municipalities that contract with the St. Louis County Police. Is crime up or down?

         Thanks to SSM St. Clare Health Center for sponsoring this meeting.
