Additional Information:

January 23 Sheriff Cox had a final meeting with the County Commission to discuss a few budget questions. Nothing has changed and our office is actively working on coordinating needed projects.

January 23 the LCSO staff quickly responded to assist the Chillicothe Police with what was originally a life threatening dispatch at a facility in north Chillicothe. The CPD officers quickly had a male in custody and the all clear was given. At that time we understood there was no weapon or additional need for assistance. (See CPD for additional information.)

January 24 the LCSO had 19 detainees appear in Livingston County Associate Court for mandated appearances. One detainee decided to get mouthy with the Judge and that problem came to a quick end.

The LCSO has remained extremely busy with criminal investigations, conducted dozens of interviews, currently working with authorities in the State of Texas on a criminal investigation of potential crimes both here and there, and conducting applicant interviews.

Currently the LCSO has 38 people in custody at the Daviess Dekalb County Regional Jail, 12 of which are female detainees.
