I want to thank the ladies of the Lockwood United Methodist Women’s group for inviting me to speak tonight.

I really enjoyed getting to spend some time with everyone.

They are truly a great group of ladies who care about their church, their community, and the people around them. That kind of kindness and dedication is part of what makes Lockwood such a special place.

Thank you all again for the invitation and for making me feel so welcome. I had a great time tonight and really appreciate each of you.

JOINT TRAINING UNDERWAY

Today, members of the Dade County Sheriff’s Office and Greenfield Police Department began a three-day training course on the Orcutt Police Nunchaku 3 (OPN 3).

This training has a little history for me personally. I first completed OPN 3 training back in 1995, and nearly 31 years later it is still being taught as a less-lethal restraint and control option for law enforcement.

The OPN 3 is designed to give officers another tool for controlling resistant or combative individuals through leverage, restraint and control techniques rather than relying solely on higher levels of force.

Over the next three days, officers will spend time in the classroom and participate in plenty of hands-on practical exercises. The training focuses on proper technique, officer safety, control, restraint and giving officers additional options when dealing with difficult situations.

A lot has changed in law enforcement since 1995, but good training and having more options available to safely control a situation are still just as important today.

We appreciate the Greenfield Police Department training alongside us and continuing to work together to better serve the citizens of Dade County.

A little late getting this posted, but I definitely didn’t want to let it go by without saying THANK YOU to everyone who helped make Dade County’s first National Night Out such a great evening!

This was the first time we’ve held National Night Out here in Dade County, and I believe it was a great start to something we can continue to build on year after year.

I know I would probably leave someone out if I tried to name everyone individually, so I want to give a huge thank you to all of our law enforcement agencies, fire departments, EMS personnel, Dade County 911, the Clark Center, Newton Fincher, first responders, local businesses, churches, organizations, volunteers, and everyone from the public who came out and supported the event. Whether you helped organize, donated, set up, brought something, worked a booth, or simply came out and spent the evening with us — you helped make it a success.

Events like this are about bringing law enforcement, fire, EMS, 911, community organizations, businesses, churches, and the public together in a positive setting, and it was great seeing so many people come out.

This may have been Dade County’s first National Night Out, but it won’t be our last. I hope we can make this an annual event and watch it continue to grow each year.

Thank you again to everyone who had a part in making it happen and to everyone who came out to support it. We truly appreciate our Dade County community!

Last week, Deputy Baldwin and Deputy Miller attended Advanced Search & Seizure training at Drury University in Springfield.

The course focused on Fourth Amendment law, including search and seizure requirements, consent, recognized exceptions, warrant requirements, and applying those principles to real-world situations.

Continuing education like this helps our deputies stay current on the law, make sound decisions in the field, and protect the constitutional rights of the people we serve.

We appreciate Deputy Baldwin and Deputy Miller taking the time to further their training and represent the Dade County Sheriff’s Office.

At the Lake of the Ozarks this week attending mandatory training for Missouri Sheriffs.

It’s a great opportunity to stay up to date on changes in law enforcement, learn from instructors and fellow sheriffs from across the state, and bring valuable information back home to Dade County.

Proud to represent Dade County!

Suspect Apprehended Following Multi-County Pursuit

On the evening of August 5, 2026, a Dade County Sheriff's deputy attempted to stop a motorcycle operated by Cody G. Roller, 33, of Golden City, who was wanted on an active Dade County felony capias warrant for Failure to Appear on Second-Degree Burglary charges. Despite some reports circulating on social media, the vehicle involved was a motorcycle, not a moped.

Rather than stop, Roller fled from deputies, leading law enforcement on a pursuit of approximately 40 miles through Dade County before entering Greene County. During the pursuit, he repeatedly crossed into oncoming traffic, ran a stop sign, and committed numerous traffic violations while refusing to stop for law enforcement, creating a substantial risk to the public and responding officers.

After the pursuit entered Greene County, deputies with the Greene County Sheriff's Office assumed the lead. Roller later abandoned the motorcycle near Republic and fled on foot into a wooded area. Following an extensive search utilizing a K-9 unit, he was taken into custody without further incident.

Roller is currently being held in the Greene County Jail on Greene County charges of Resisting Arrest/Detention/Stop by Fleeing Creating a Substantial Risk of Serious Physical Injury or Death and Assault on a Law Enforcement Animal, in addition to a Dade County hold for the active felony capias warrant.

In addition to the active felony warrant, Roller is also a person of interest in multiple recent felony investigations spanning several jurisdictions. Those investigations remain active and ongoing, and no additional information regarding those cases will be released at this time.

I want to thank the Greene County Sheriff's Office, the Missouri State Highway Patrol, and all assisting agencies for their professionalism, teamwork, and coordination throughout this incident. Their efforts resulted in the safe apprehension of the suspect while helping minimize the risk to the public.

All persons are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
