The Perry County Sheriff's
Office consists of 24 personnel, divided into Patrol, Dispatch, Jail and Administration.
There is a minimum of one patrolman, one dispatcher, and one jailer on duty at all times,
making it possible 24 hour coverage to the citizens of Perryville/Perry County.
Each division of the Sheriff's Office has a supervisor, who answers directly to the

The Perry County Sheriff's Office and Perry County Jail is located at 710 S. Kingshighway,
Perryville Missouri. The current facility was built in 1989, taking the place of the
former Sheriff's Office and Jail located at 217 N. Spring Street, in Perryville. That
facility had been in operation since 1904.
The current facility has a capacity of 40 inmates, and also houses the dispatch operations
and other personnel associated with the Sheriff's Office. We are also home to a Zone
office for the Missouri State Highway Patrol, who can be contacted through our switchboard
