Summer Letter from the Sheriff 2024

 

May 20, 2024

Fellow Citizens of Camden County,

As we approach summer, the Camden County Sheriff's Office is preparing for one of the busiest times of the year. With more people outdoors and participating in activities, it is important that we take precautions to ensure the safety of our community. We congratulate all area graduates and wish them the best of luck in the future, whether away at college, starting a career, or somewhere in between!

We want to remind everyone to prioritize safety and responsibility during this season of relaxation and fun. Whether you are hiking, swimming, enjoying a neighborhood barbeque, or just spending time with family and friends, please be mindful of your surroundings and take steps to avoid accidents or injury.

Due to increased outdoor activities and travel during summer, remind all drivers in your family to follow traffic laws and never drive under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Please ensure everyone traveling in the vehicle is wearing their seatbelt and it is properly buckled.

On behalf of myself, Chief Deputy Jim Brashear, and all the men and women at the Camden County Sheriff's Office I look forward to joining you for another great summer season at the Lake of the Ozarks. And as always, I am humbled and honored to continue serving as your sheriff.

Sincerely,

Tony R Helms

Sheriff, Camden County
