The city says it was investigating whether Andrea Dorch, former head of the Civil Rights and Equal Opportunity Department, was violating the city's residency requirement. The city was billed nearly $11,000 for the surveillance by a company in Missouri that hires private investigators. Dorch resigned from her position in April.
A private company billed Kansas City nearly $11,000 in January to surveil the former head of the city’s Civil Rights Office, who was one of the highest-ranking Black women at City Hall.

..."Clarence M. Kelley and Associates is a subsidiary of Strategos International, a private company that provides “immediate response” for training, consulting and protection — including surveillance.
Nick Spencer, chief operating officer of Clarence M. Kelley and Associates, said the company’s private investigators are licensed by the state of Missouri. He said the company cannot confirm who their clients are or what specific services they’re hired to provide.
The invoice bills the city for 121.5 hours of surveillance, including 1,107.5 miles worth of travel. The invoice shows the private investigators traveled from Harrisonville, Missouri to Dorch’s Lee’s Summit property. The document also shows investigators followed Dorch between a parking garage across the street from City Hall and the Lee’s Summit house.
Dorch said she was often at that property in January because her daughter was staying there over a school break. Dorch also said she was checking on ongoing renovations.
During that time, Dorch said she felt like there was someone following her.
“I did not feel comfortable many nights because I felt like somebody was actually following me,” Dorch said."
