The Livingston County Sheriff’s Office (LCSO) operates under several different budgets which include: County Revenue for both Jail and Sheriff, Law Enforcement Sales Tax (LEST) for both Jail and Sheriff, Civil Fees, Inmate Security, CCW and Law Enforcement Training. The county revenue and Law Enforcement Sales Tax are funded through sales tax in Livingston County. The others are funded through either civil service fees or specific legally obligated funding outside of tax revenue. All fines on moving violations for traffic citations goes through the court and is distributed to all public schools serving Livingston County residents.

The LCSO administrative office is only open Monday through Friday 8-4 and that is also when the majority of sworn staff are working active investigations and assisting citizens. Therefore the average number of telephone calls per day is actually about 20-25% higher as reported above, but unable to be calculated.
Registered Offenders and Exotic Animal Registration:
The county sheriff is mandated to register certain criminal offenders and exotic animals that are located in Livingston County. The LCSO takes sex offender registration and the laws very seriously, conduct compliance checks and actively investigate violations. We share our information with the Missouri State Highway Patrol.
