State Ex Rel. Parsons v. Board of Police Commissioners of Kansas City

JAMES M. SMART, JR., Judge.

The Relators in this case are two Kansas City, Missouri, police officers. Both officers appeal the judgment of the Circuit Court granting Officer Brent Parsons’ writ of mandamus and denying all other relief. The officers claim that certain internal polices of the Kansas City, Missouri, Police Department (KCPD) and the Board of Police Commissioners (“the Board”) violate state law and should be declared null and void. Because we determine that the Re-lators do not have standing to appeal, we dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction.
