Hereโ€™s the list of MOSA leaders. They need to get the bill for any officers overtime for protest
Have anyone checked on the whereabouts of Myra Lewis? Any updates? Also, if she was home with her father, was he investigated? Did y'all look in the backyard to make sure she wasn't buried there(in case)? 6 years later...
Did you guys catch the man that was knocking on peopleโ€™s windows last night?
I would like to truly thank Dept Sheriff Alex for all of his help as we tried to get Cooper our husky. Thank you so much for your help.
What's the status of renewing concealed carry permits, I have left several messages, and haven't heard back. I understand with this virus thing life is crazy, but it expires this month. (Richard)
Thank You to the Sherriff Dept. !!!! Our ranger and 2 chainsaws (as well as other items) was stolen during the night and the ranger and chain saws have already been located!!
Not sure if this is the right place to post; if not maybe someone an forward to proper authority.

The speed limit sign on OO by Mine La Motte is blocked by bushes and badly needs to be trimmed.
With accident last month, we should go the extra mile and make sure this highway, on the Mad Co side, is pristine and hazardous free.
Could you tell me what this is for or where i can get info about it
Happy Easter to all Police Officers stay safe (Richard)
The guy who drives this truck was recklessly driving through Walmart parking lot and even caused a Walmart employee to jump out of the way to avoid potentially getting hit. This is not the kind of person that should be representing our town.
For all of you out there...Thank You for your service
