Dexter City Offices Closed for Presidents Day
February 15th 2018 by Dee Loflin
Dexter, Missouri - The city of Dexter administrative offices will be closed Monday, February 19, 2018 for Presidents Day.
Trash will be one day late. There will be no bulk pick up on Friday, February 23, 2018.
"Presidents’ Day is an American holiday celebrated on the third Monday in February. Originally established in 1885 in recognition of President George Washington, it is still officially called “Washington’s Birthday” by the federal government. Traditionally celebrated on February 22 - Washington’s actual day of birth - the holiday became popularly known as Presidents’ Day after it was moved as part of 1971’s Uniform Monday Holiday Act, an attempt to create more three-day weekends for the nation’s workers. While several states still have individual holidays honoring the birthdays of Washington, Abraham Lincoln and other figures, Presidents’ Day is now popularly viewed as a day to celebrate all U.S. presidents past and present."

Dexter Police Department Step Up Seat Belt Enforcement
Click It or Ticket
Dexter, Missouri - Dexter Police will be joining efforts with statewide law enforcement on February 15th for an aggressive “Click It or Ticket” mobilization to get more motorists to buckle up — and save more lives.
Despite evidence proving the benefits of wearing a seat belt, 16% of Missouri motorists are still not making it click. Even worse, 65% of occupants killed in 2017 crashes in Missouri were unrestrained.
“Local motorists should be prepared for stepped up Click It or Ticket enforcement,” said Chief Sammy Stone. “We’ll be out there to remind you seat belts can – and do – save lives.”
Buckle Up and Arrive Alive.
