From the Dexter Police Department - In order to clear up some rumors and misconceptions, we would like to take this opportunity to address the news of several burglaries that have occurred here in Dexter over the past two weeks.

So far, these burglaries have occurred at businesses that are located in close proximity to each other.

We would ask that business owners keep in mind to ensure their doors are securely locked, especially doors located at the rear of their business.

Ensure that deadbolts and locking mechanisms are sufficient for the door size and are installed correctly.

Remove or limit the amounts of petty cash that is kept onsite.

If you have a video surveillance system, please check that it is in good working order, or perhaps consider upgrading your current system.

With advances in technology, there are systems with high resolution cameras that are affordable for even the smallest of storefronts.

Most citizens are asleep during the prime times for burglary (between 10pm - 5am), but if you are out and about during those hours, please report any suspicious activity you observe.

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."
