We are currently accepting applications for the following positions:
Applications may be obtained by clicking here or from the Christian County Sheriff’s Office, 110 West Elm Street, Suite 70, Ozark, Missouri 65721, between 9 AM – 4:30 PM.
Dispatch has received several phone calls in reference to 'what to do' due to the disappearance of the 20 foot long, 8 year old, Burmese Python pictured below, which was lost on Thursday around the County Line Road and Cypress Road area of Christian County.
We would advise to go about your normal routine, but be aware of your surroundings. If you live near this area, watch your children when they are playing (like you would normally do), don't let them venture out into high grass alone, or densely wooded areas. If this 'pet' is observed anywhere, make sure you move to safety, then call 911. Dispatch will send the nearest Deputy or Officer , depending on jurisdiction the snake is located in. Conservation Department will not respond, stating this animal does not fall under the realm of their operations.
We look forward to the day this snake is located and collected.
