The station was built in 1976 and is located at 11109 Hickman Mills Drive. The sworn law enforcement officers and civilian employees provide services to an area that not only covers large residential areas, but also 32 city parks, two large county parks, and many commercial areas.

Several major employers are located in South Patrol Division including Aventis (formally Hoecht-Marion-Roussell), Allied Signal, St. Joseph and Truman Medical Center East Hospitals, Sprint, and many federal agencies. Three school districts are located within the division. In addition to responding to more than 31,000 calls for service, community oriented policing is also an integral function of this division.  Division personnel work closely with community leaders, neighborhood associations, and businesses to identify and solve problems.  Interaction with over 80 neighborhood associations and literally hundreds of block watch programs have been the key to reducing crime and improving the Quality of Life of every resident.
