Welcome! Thank you! Stay safe!Congratulations

We are excited to welcome Michelle Jimenez as our newest Police Officer! Michelle has always had a passion for criminal Justice and law enforcement, which she pursued by earning an associate's degree in the field. Her journey with our department began as a part-time Police Assistant, after which she moved up to a full-time Community Service Officer (CSO), and now, she has achieved her goal of becoming a Police Officer.

Before joining our ranks, Michelle made a significant impact as the youngest Director of Security in company history at a local area mall. Her leadership and dedication have been evident throughout her career. Michelle is bilingual, and she is particularly enthusiastic about engaging with the Latin American community in our town. Her ability to bridge language barriers will undoubtedly strengthen our community relations. In her free time, Michelle enjoys walking her dog, Luna, and traveling. She will be starting the Police Academy in August and is eager to begin this new chapter, serving our community with pride and honor. Please join us in welcoming Officer Michelle Jimenez to the team!

Congrats Michelle!

Thank you for 24 years of service! All the best in your retirement!Please join the Ozark Police Department in congratulating Sergeant Truman Isbell on his retirement after 24 years of service to the citizens of Ozark.

Sergeant Isbell began his service career as a Reserve Police Officer for the Ozark Police Department after graduating from the Drury College Police Academy in early 1999.

Today is Yours

Today is yours.  What does that mean?

It means that yesterday may or may not have gone according to plan.  Yesterday may have been a good day or a bad day or somewhere in between.

It means that tomorrow is not promised to anyone.

It means that today, right now, is the time for you to make a good yesterday even better and to create a positive experience from a not so good yesterday.

If yesterday should be forgotten, start by forgetting it today.  If yesterday was memorable, set out to create an even more powerful memory today.

If you need a fresh start, start today.  If you have put off working on something meaningful, start that work today.  In other words, if tomorrow is not promised to you then make sure that tomorrow is today.

Despite a constant wish for time to either speed up or slow down depending on your situation and circumstances, you inherently know that time does neither.  Time itself is indiscriminate.  It travels at the same speed every day.  The distinguishing factor is what you choose to do with the time that you have.

Today is the only day that you have to reflect on, learn from, and build upon yesterday.

Today is also the only day that you have to anticipate and prepare for tomorrow, which you still have to do even though tomorrow isn’t yours to count on.

So, today is yours.  You can do anything you want with it, but whatever you decide to do with today, make it count because you won’t be able to get it back.

There are many ways for you to make it count.  It is up to you to find your personal stamp and place it on today as often and as forcefully as you can.

Are you going to cross a finish line or start a new race?

Are you going to affirm a previously held belief or learn something new?

Are you going to take a breather or experience something that takes your breath away?

Are you going to stay within your comfort zone or are you going to push yourself into unchartered territory?

Will you accomplish all or none of the above?

The choices are endless and the opportunities are limitless.

Today is yours.  What are you going to do with it?
