Deputies Being Hired in St. Francois County

(St. Francis County, MO) Officials with the St. Francois County Sheriff's Department are looking for additional deputies. St. Francois County Sheriff, Dan Bullock, says voter approval of the internet use tax is helping expand the department.

According to Bullock county commissioners have agreed to utilize available funds to hire deputies now rather than wait on the first collections of the use tax. That money will be paid back to the county once the tax starts coming in.
