A bit cooler today behind the cold front but still well above-average.

Henry county sheriff's office holds proactive enforcement operation

On Thursday, November 13, 2025, the Henry County Sheriff’s Office, in partnership with the Midwest Missouri Career Criminal and Drug Task Force, carried out a countywide Proactive Enforcement Operation designed to increase visibility, address criminal activity, and support community safety.

Throughout the operation, deputies and Task Force members patrolled every corner of the county, completing 43 traffic stops, serving warrants, and conducting multiple narcotics investigations. Five K-9 units assisted in operations across several areas of the county, providing additional detection and enforcement capabilities.

This continued effort shows our dedication to proactive policing and the strong partnerships that help keep our community safe. We appreciate everyone’s support as we work together for Henry County and want to give a special thank-you to Henry County Dispatch for keeping everything running smoothly throughout the operation.
