Welcome aboard...you may want to check out the stickies. Do you see more laser enforcement or radar? Generally you will need a good radar detector and a laser jammer system. A radar detector can detect laser, but its not effective as a countermeasure (the LEO has your speed by the time your RD alerts).

If you share more details you will get some suggestions. (Budget, type of enforcement, type of car, etc)

Here are some details on Missouri:

Junior Brown, the only problem with that list is those are all STL suburbs. All I know about KC is Kansas City (metro area) has laser and Blue Springs uses Ka, and I believe Independence uses very quick instant on.

People have budgets?

The more you read the more you will want one that doesn't drive you nuts with false alerts. I like to hear my exhaust not flat top my tires on every false alarm.

Happy hunting

Merry Christmas

And if you read more (and post less ) you will learn how it's done ... how to prevent false alerts from driving you nuts, and yet keep information and sensitivity. Oh, and don't cut the cord until you're sure you'll keep it.
