Records and Sunshine Law Requests
Vernon County Sheriff's Office records requests go through Casey Crews, Custodian of Records. The sheriff administration page directs Sunshine Law requests by fax or email. A useful request should name the record sought, give a date range, include requester contact information, and state any public-interest or intended-use information when that applies. Missouri Sunshine Law is found in Chapter 610, including RSMo 610.011, 610.023, 610.026, and 610.100.
