Jackson County

Jackson County, MO, which includes Kansas City, wants proposals to rebrand its Community Backed Anti-Drug Tax (COMBAT) Commission.

Launched in 1989 and funded with a .25 percent sales tax, COMBAT’s mission is to create a “safe community for its residents free from the dangers of illegal drugs and violent crime through the use of prevention education, treatment services and support of the criminal justice system."

Jackson County wants to rebrand COMBAT and possibly change the program’s name.

The desired partner will create “buy-in” for the possible new name and logo through surveys and focus groups.

It will create different branding messages for prevention, treatment, criminal justice and law enforcement audiences and develop a social media campaign.

The original and five copies of the proposal are due Oct. 20. They are to be sent in a sealed opaque envelope with the proposal number 49-20 written on the outside to:

Office of the Jackson County Purchasing Department
Room G-1, Ground Floor
Jackson County Courthouse
415 East 12th Street
Kansas City, Missouri 64106
