Our mission is to provide the highest possible level of law enforcement to all our citizens within St. Francois County.  To accomplish this we have enacted a pro-active approach to law enforcement instead of the old idea of re-active enforcement. This is achieved through programs like D.A.R.E., Community policing, bike patrols, Eddie Eagle, Explorers, McGruff, Neighborhood Watch, and others that educate and promote interaction between deputies and the community.
