Osage County Sheriff's Dept
Osage County is unique in that is boasts an extremely stable population, comprised of long-time family residents. Property and home sales are very low and the majority of our transient population consists of students attending the State-Tech College. Additionally, Osage County has two major highways running through that connects St. Louis to Kansas City and caters to traffic exiting I-44 traveling to our state's capital. Those attending the college and traveling on those state highways are subject to contact with our agency in the event of a criminal investigation or during traffic enforcement. These factors can disproportionately skew numbers pertaining to statistical gathering specific to Osage County.
