Jasper County Sheriff's Dept
Jasper County has a population of 121,328 persons. Jasper County is home to Missouri Southern State University which boasts a widely diverse ethnic population which is not counted in the census. Further, Jasper County has two major interstate arteries intersecting, Interstate 44 and Interstate 49. Further, Jasper County is home to an historic stretch of Route 66 which attracts people from many different states and countries. Jasper County is also home to the largest Asian religious festival in the United States, where in August of each year more than 80,000 Vietnamese visit our county seat for a week. For these reasons we often see a population that is not necessarily represented by our census numbers.
