PUBLIC NOTICE – ACTIVE ELECTION FLYER INVESTIGATION
WOODSON TERRACE POLICE DEPARTMENT
OFFICE OF PROFESSIONAL STANDARDS/ PUBLIC INFORMATION OFFICER
PHONE: 314-427-5858

Woodson Terrace, MO - The Woodson Terrace Police Department is currently investigating
election-related flyer cards that were recently mailed and delivered to residents across the
City of Woodson Terrace.

As with any law enforcement agency, the Woodson Terrace Police Department does NOT
endorse any political candidate. However, when there is evidence suggesting potential
election interference or deceptive practices, we take those matters seriously and will
conduct a thorough investigation.

Our initial investigation has determined that the campaign flyer in question was NOT sent
by current Mayor Besmer, and at no time has he endorsed the material contained within it.
At this time, the origin and distribution of these materials remain under review. The
department is actively working to determine the source of the mailers.

If you have any information regarding this fictitious or misleading election flyer, please
contact the Woodson Terrace Police Department Criminal Investigation Division
Commander, Lieutenant Anton at 314-696-1658.

We appreciate the community’s cooperation as we work to ensure transparency and
integrity in the electoral process.
