“That’s not just good news… that’s kick-the-door-in, stand-a-little-taller kind of news.” 👏🏼🎉🩵
BIG NEWS FOR PULASKI COUNTY!
I’m proud to announce that our Pulaski County Jail Reintegration Program has been selected as one of only FOUR winners of the 2025 Missouri Association of Counties (MAC) Achievement Awards, out of 114 counties statewide.
That’s not just good news… that’s kick-the-door-in, stand-a-little-taller kind of news.
This program was a leap of faith when we started it. We didn’t know exactly what it would look like, or how much impact it could have. But we knew one thing: people in crisis deserve a real chance to change their lives, and Pulaski County wasn’t going to sit on the sidelines.
A huge thank you to Monnett and COMC for securing the grant that launched this program and for bringing it into our jail. You didn’t just help us start something, you helped us change lives.
Thank you to our jail staff for backing Monnett from day one, even when none of us knew how far this would go. Now we know. Now we see it working. And now the entire state sees it too.
And finally, thank you to my entire TEAM at the Pulaski County Sheriff's Office and COMC. Every bit of progress we make in this county is because of hard-charging, mission-driven people who care about this county and its residents.
This award belongs to all of you.
Onward,
Sheriff Stacy L. Ball
Pulaski County Sheriff's Office
