Millions across the U.S. are facing their first round of summer heat this week! 🌡️🥵

Your first instinct on a 90-degree day may be to get in the car, crank the AC to max and sit there, but there’s a much faster way to clear out stagnant air. ⤵️

And remember: a parked car gets dangerously hot instantly. Never leave a child alone in a vehicle — not even for a second.

🚌 There's s a FREE bus running from Overland Park and Lenexa straight to KCI, but so far, barely anyone is riding it.

Johnson County launched a free airport shuttle this month, with buses leaving the Overland Park Convention Center and Lenexa City Center every 30 minutes from early morning to late evening. No parking fees. No Uber. Just a free ride to the airport.

In its first week, the county says, unofficially, about 18 to 35 riders per day used the service, but they hope to see those numbers pick up as more people learn about it.

It's only funded through September. Read more about what it could mean for JoCo long-term. 👇

Troop A participated in the 45th Anniversary of the Kansas Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics which started in Olathe & made its first stop in Leawood. This year, Trooper Furnas participated as a motor unit blocking traffic for the runners.

It’s always a great opportunity to fundraise for the athletes & show them we support them!

Lieutenant Cory Beard and I are saddened by the news of our good friend, Missouri State Highway Patrol Trooper Gary Daniels. Gary loved his job & loved recruiting others to choose service as well. It was always a pleasure recruiting alongside Gary. Gary will be greatly missed.

🚨 NB I-635 at I-70 IS CLOSED 🚨

Both ramps from I-70 to NB I-635 are closed. Motorists can enter at State.

Load securement is important! Please make sure the chains & tie-downs are strong enough! Luckily there are no injuries, but it will take some time to get this cleared.
