“As of today, we will not be seeking traffic violations, will only be answering calls of violent Misdemeanor and Felony crimes. Any crime that does not fall within the listed guidelines will have to be taken care of via the phone or walk-in.”
Ozark Radio News spoke with Sheriff Martin about the Order:
The Emergency Order will stay in effect until such time as the emergency of funding for fuel, all services and goods come to a reasonable rate so that we may stay within the confines of our current budget.
