Traffic + Public Offense Codes

Uniform Public Offense Code

The Uniform Public Offense Code (UPOC) has been published by the League of Kansas Municipalities since 1980. It is designed to provide a comprehensive public offense ordinance for Kansas cities. It does not take effect in a city until the governing body has passed and published an ordinance incorporating it by reference under the authority of and by the procedure prescribed by K.S.A. 12-3009 through 12-3012 and K.S.A. 12-3301 and 12-3302. 

The Uniform Public Offense Code, in large part, parallels the state criminal code. Additional provisions for local regulations, if any, may be included in the incorporating ordinance. Previous ordinances relating to public offenses in conflict with provisions of the Uniform Public Offense Code and ordinances incorporating earlier editions of the Uniform Public Offense Code should be repealed by the incorporating ordinance.

The City of Mission annually adopts the Uniform Public Offense Code. A copy of the latest code can be found here.
