Ralls County Sheriff's Office

Tonight, deputies were out and about in cooperation with Perry and Center Police Departments, not only patrolling areas during trick or treating, but heavily focusing on s*x offender compliance checks around the county.

We had a very distinguished visitor today. My good friend, Pat Milletich (UFC Hall of Famer, and former UFC champ) was passing through the area and stopped to visit our staff. I connected with Pat a while back in Las Vegas at a competition I was in. He has directly influenced the material I use when I instruct our deputies in defensive tactics and ground fighting. So glad you visited us Pat.

Just a few thoughts about Prop P on the ballot November 3rd. If passed, the funds will go directly to the Ralls County Sheriff’s Office.

This morning, Chief Deputy Coates and I had to be in Jefferson City and stopped by Missouri State Highway Patrol General Headquarters. We had the privilege of meeting up with MSHP Superintendent, Colonel Michael Turner and visited their historical museum (a fantastic display). We appreciate the hospitality shown by Colonel Turner and his staff. This highlights the working relationship and appreciation we have for MSHP and the Troopers in Ralls County. We have some top notch dedicated and professional Troopers and appreciate their hard work.

Announcement.

As of Tuesday, 09/01/2026, the Ralls County Sheriff’s Office has suspended the use of FLOCK cameras. As an agency, we only had one FLOCK camera operating, and it was in the northbound lanes of US 61 near Spencer Creek. This camera has been covered with black plastic. The other camera we possess is attached to our mobile traffic (speed) trailer. That trailer is in the parking lot of the Sheriff’s Office for now.

We have set up a meeting with our representative for FLOCK.
Some of our questions are: What information is being retained? Who has access to the information? Do you sell any information you obtain from the cameras? Plus many more.

I am in favor of the original purpose I was sold on for the cameras, which is public safety, i.e., receiving notifications from FLOCK pertaining to dangerous wanted persons, endangered elderly persons, and abducted and endangered children. However, media stories and concerned citizens have brought to my attention that there may be more to the system than I am aware of.

Until I am satisfied with the information I receive from FLOCK, the Ralls County Sheriff’s Office will not be operating them.

Always happy to help, even if it does involve wasps 😁. Thank you Ralls County Library.

Teamwork…it looked like a large family of wasps wanted to come to the library via the Dropbox. After a few patron calls to the library, the Ralls County Sheriff’s office came to help. Those wasps were sure mad and took it out on one deputy! Ouch!! Thanks to Ralls County Sheriffs office for helping with the smallest tasks. I appreciated it… sitting in the comforts of my car.

We received info today that a resident was called and advised they missed federal jury duty, had a warrant for their arrest and the Ralls County Sheriff’s Office was going to come arrest them.

Reminder…Please do not fall for scams like this and contact our office if you have any questions or concerns and especially do not give out personal information or send money.

There are some questions about this camera on Rte H in Center. We have been informed that this is from MO Dept. Of Transportation and they are conducting a traffic study on Rte H. If I hear anything different I will pass it on and feel free to reach out to me with any other questions on this.
