The other exception is in clause 7, victims of chapter 566 crimes can request that the arrest stay closed until charges are filed and that their identity be permanently removed from the arrest record.
"7. The victim of an offense as provided in chapter 566 may request that his or her identity be kept confidential until a charge relating to such incident is filed."
Chapter 566 is the chapter detailing sexual offenses. Missouri Legislature - Chapter Index
On top of all of this is 610.221, which contains the list of mandatory and optional closed records Section: 610.0021 Closed meetings and closed records authorized when, exceptions. RSMO 610.021
Section 13 of 610.221 specifies that all personnel records are closed with no option to open them except for name, position, salary, and length of service. This section is a top level portion of the state sunshine law and overrides subsection such as the 100 sections on arrest records.
"Individually identifiable personnel records, performance ratings or records pertaining to employees or applicants for employment, except that this exemption shall not apply to the names, positions, salaries and lengths of service of officers and employees of public agencies once they are employed as such, and the names of private sources donating or contributing money to the salary of a chancellor or president at all public colleges and universities in the state of Missouri and the amount of money contributed by the source"

I really did not feel like doing the research for you for the slew of bad police officers I expect this post to generate, but here is what I found for for the last two weeks alone:
All hope I had that dash-cams and body-cams would help curtail police violence is gone thanks to the Inkster police department.
Not only did they brutally assault an individual for no apparent reason, but they may have also planted cocaine in his vehicle and all while the dash-cam was rolling.
Dash cams have also been no deterrent to the great number of people who've killed police, often during what was initially a traffic stop. Do you care about that?

They are charged and sent to prison, not covered up and protected by the system.
