CAN I FILE A POLICE REPORT ON-LINE?

Records Request Form

 

PROTECTION ORDERS


HOW CAN I GET AN ORDER OF PROTECTION AGAINST SOMEONE?
Webster County Victim Assistance works as a liaison with Webster County Civil Office to assist in compiling the necessary documentation for a petition to present for a Judge’s approval. The Name, Date of Birth, and accurate serving address are minimum requirements they must have to complete the application process. If the Judge approves the petition then an Ex-Parte, a temporary order of protection, is ordered by the court with a court appearance date for the petitioner and respondent. The order will be served by a Webster County Sheriff’s Deputy if the boundaries lie within our jurisdiction. The Webster County Victim’s Assistance Office is also available for conflict resolution. They can be reached at 417-859-7129.

No. At this time the county does not have animal control. Sheriff's Deputies handle most animal control calls. Each year deputies handle approximately 900 to 1000 animal calls a year.

Emergency Calls are priority. Typically if we are backlogged our central dispatch will let you know our approximate arrival time. We apologize for any delay, and you will receive the same attention and time to your case as all other citizens.
