March 18,

Due to the current state of affairs with COVID-19 virus, we are seeking to limit citizen traffic into the Sheriff's office. The office will be open for normal operations. We ask that if it is not a true emergency to please stay at your house and give us a call.

• 911 Emergencies only
• (417)646-5822 Non-emergency
• (417)646-2565 Administration Office
• (417)646-7704 Jail 

Deputies and support staff will be on duty to handle emergencies and phone calls. 

The jail has already suspended all visits with the inmates in order to try and cut down on the chance of COVID-19 entering the building.

Concealed Carry Weapons permits will also be suspended until further notice. Don't worry. We will waive any late fees that may have been accrued during this time. If you have any questions, please call Chris Martin at (417)646-2565.

Thank you for your cooperation and understanding during this time of heightened precaution. 

Sheriff Scott A. Keeler
