FOP BARGAINING UNIT CITES CITY'S
PURCHASE OF PARK LAND IN DEMAND FOR PAY
RAISES. CITY RESPONDS WITH HOW MUCH IS
BEING OFFERED FOR NEXT POLICE CONTRACT
DESPITE CONTINUED LOSS OF REVENUE
March
4, 2021 -- In
2020
Chesterfield
police
officers took
a 10% cut in
pay for five
weeks to avoid
layoffs due to
reduced sales
tax revenue
because of the
pandemic. The
FOP demands
the city meets
its obligation
under the
current
contract
especially
since the city
spent
$6,900,000 to
purchase park
land.
The city
responds there
continues to
be a loss of
revenue.
The FOP letter
to the city
was filed as
part of the
current
contract
negotiations,
however it was
leaked to the
West County

out about the
leak and now

ST.
LUKE’S COVID-19 VACCINE CLINIC
RELOCATING TO CHESTERFIELD MALL
IN APRIL
March
5, 2021 – St. Luke’s Hospital will
relocate
its COVID-19 vaccine clinic from its
campus to a new location on the
upper level of Chesterfield Mall near
Macy’s. The relocation
date is targeted for early April as the
space is prepared to
accommodate medical services.
While
demand continues to outpace supply, the
larger space at Chesterfield
Mall offers more flexibility for St.
Luke’s to increase its
vaccination capacity and better serve the
community as vaccine supply
increases over time.
Vaccine
doses are administered by appointment only
to individuals on St.
Luke’s waiting list in the populations
currently eligible to
receive the vaccine in Missouri. St.
Luke’s COVID-19 Vaccine
Clinic is unable to accommodate walk-in
requests.
To
pre-register, visit lukesvaccine.com.
If an individual is not in a population
currently eligible to receive
the vaccine, they are encouraged to
pre-register. When they become
eligible to receive the vaccine, St.
Luke’s will send them an
appointment invitation via email if the
vaccine clinic has doses and
appointments available.
Updates
regarding the vaccine clinic relocation
will be provided on
lukesvaccine.com.

David
Cerna Case
FORMER
CHESTERFIELD
POLICE OFFICER DAVID CERNA, COP, SEX
PERVERT, VIDEO PRODUCER AND WEBSITE
OWNER! NOW READ THE INVESTIGATIVE
REPORT
October
14,
2017 – KTVI newsman Chris Hayes got a
tip and broke the case that someone was
video recording people urinating in the
men’s bathroom on the Mobil on the Run
in Chesterfield on Clarkson Road. He
turned his evidence over to the
Chesterfield Police.
A
thorough investigation determined that
Chesterfield Officer David Cerna while
on duty had been hiding a camera in the
bathroom recording men’s penises at the
urinal. The Mobil station was a favorite
place for police officers to take a
bathroom break and at least seven
officers were also recorded.
A search
warrant of Cerna’s house in Wentzville
resulted in computers being seized.
There the bathroom images, along with
recordings of Cerna using a glory hole
at his house and performing anonymous
oral sex on people responding to
messages on websites were found. All
these images were placed on a website
run by Cerna.
More
troubling were secret recordings of
officers changing clothes in the
Chesterfield Police locker room,
people, including juvenile males
wearing sweat pants or shorts being
frisked by Cerna and having their
pants pulled out at the waist and
their genitals secretly recorded by
Cerna using a small recording
device.
Cerna
pled
guilty to:
2 counts
of Felony Invasion of Privacy
in St. Charles CO Sentenced to 60
days jail.
Felony Invasion of
Privacy Multiple Persons St.
Louis County Sentenced to 4
Years prison but placed on 5-years
probation.
Misdemeanor
Invasion of Privacy St. Louis
County. Sentenced to 1-year jail
no probation.
Felony Sexual
Exploitation of a Minor St.
Louis County. Sentenced to
10-years prison but placed on 5 year
probation term.
Felony
Invasion of Privacy Multiple Persons
St. Louis County. Sentenced to
4-years prison but placed on 5-years
probation.
Cerna appealed
the sentence for Sexual Exploitation
of Minor to the Missouri Court of
Appeals of the Eastern District. His
appeal was denied and the judgment and
sentence was affirmed on July 25,
2017.
The final notation on the case was
entered by the courts in September of
2017.
I filed a
Sunshine Request to obtain the
investigative report in September and
received a copy of the report on
October 13, 2017.
