Over the past several months, and even years, many in the community have felt alarmed, confused, and often left in the dark about serious incidents involving local law enforcement — particularly the Pike County Sheriff’s Office. And it's not just one department. The public has raised concerns about multiple situations involving PCSO Bowling Green, and Louisiana PD over the last five years. This isn’t about one case or one headline —it's about a pattern of opacity and a culture of silence that damages public trust and opens the county to legal and reputational risk. In March, a local police chief held a press conference accusing the Pike County Sheriff’s Office of interference and concealment. The allegations are serious —and they were made publicly. Since then, there has been no public acknowledgement from the Sheriff’s Office, Highway Patrol, the Commissioners, or from the Mayor. The deputies allegedly involved remain on active duty. No updates. No statement. No accountability. We will be presenting this petition to the city councils of Bowling Green and Louisiana as well as the County Commissioners.
PROPOSED RESPONSIBILITIES of the CIVILIAN OVERSIGHT BOARD:
● Investigate complaints of police misconduct and ensure they are handled fairly.
● Review policies and procedures of the police department to recommend improvements and changes.
● Conduct regular public forums or meetings to engage the community and gather feedback.
● Provide transparent reports on the findings of Investigations and policy reviews.
● Collaborate with the police department to promote best practices and prevent misconduct.
WHY THIS MATTERS
1. Transparency: Ensures public accountability for police officers and the department.
2. Fairness: Provides an independent body to investigate allegations of misconduct.
3. Community Trust: Strengthens relationships between law enforcement and the community by involving citizens in Oversight.
4. Preventive Measures: Helps identify systemic issues and provides solutions to reduce incidents of police misconduct.
WE NEED 1000 SIGNATURES
I am honestly a bit overwhelmed by the momentum this is gaining. This movement belongs entirely to the people who took a chance on this idea when I first posted it.

I wholeheartedly believe this is a necessity our community is in desperate need of, i can think of several families this issue has affected. Had we had this group to ensure more transparency, then I believe justice and some peace may have been within reach for those done unjustly.

I think the jail needs to be looked into better. I have heard there has been deaths on the women's side because they do not get the proper medical attention they need. Or even given proper sanitary needs or even clean underwear when they have periods if their underwear gets soiled with blood.

I am excited to see this much need petition in action as I have seen a lot of questionable, sloppy and corrupt activity in the past few years. The good ole boy clique needs to be disbanded. I hope and pray for accountability in all wrong doing in Pike County.

Louisiana Missouri Police Department killed my brother Nicholas Adam Twilla on July 20th 2023. May he rest in Heaven and we get justice for all of those that have died by the hands of the police in Louisiana MO and BOWLING GREEN MISSOURI!

Now that your supposed “whistleblower” has been shown for what he is (check case net), are you going to continue with your false narratives against innocent people so you can chase your fame and feel important?

Felons and addicts be like, “they’re all corrupt, I’m gunna believe this one guy who showed up from nowhere over everyone else, including the state.”
