Welcome to the Howell County Sheriff’s Office homepage! Thank you for taking
a few minutes to look at our website. We want to thank the citizens of Howell
County for the opportunity to serve you.
Howell County is a dynamic, progressive county in South Central Missouri. Our
three largest municipalities, Mountain View, West Plains and Willow Springs hold
the regions retail and service trade centers. Our small communities are
close-knit rural villages where neighbors are valued. Our rugged terrain,
running streams and clean air all add to the beauty of the Ozarks.
We are extremely excited to be the first Sheriff’s Office in the State of
Missouri to offer OffenderWatch, the sex offender
mapping and notification system. Please take advantage of the
Automated Notification Email System to ensure you
and your family will know when an offender moves near your home, school,
workplace, or any address you chose within Howell County.
Watch our site for updated News Releases and
our Neighborhood Watch Newsletter, the APB. Our
site also includes answers to Frequently Asked Questions, such as questions
about Concealed Weapons and Landlord/Tenant disputes.
Other areas of our site are still under construction. Check back often for new
updates.
Again, thank you for visiting our website. On behalf of the men and women of the
Howell County Sheriff’s Office, I want to thank you for allowing us to serve
you. If there is anything we can assist you with, please contact us.
Sincerely,
Robert C. Crites, Jr.
Sheriff
