Dear Friend:

Welcome to the Independence County Sheriff's

Department homepage!

In an effort to better communicate with the public,

we have created this webpage to keep our county's

citizens informed.

Through this webpage, our goal is to better serve our county by informing you of our programs which are in place to serve you. From teaching children about safety to helping a community start a neighborhood watch program, we can help each other make our streets and neighborhoods a safer place.

We know that crime is a major concern for our citizens. Many times, without assistance from the public, we would not have been able to solve a crime or arrest a wanted person. The assistance and support we receive from the public has always been greatly appreciated. Please take a moment to take a look at our crime alert page. You might be able to help us solve a crime!

On behalf of the men and women of the Independence County Sheriff's Department, I thank you for visiting our site.

Sincerely,

Keith Bowers

Sheriff
