Officials in Guthrie County say the Guthrie County Sheriff’s Office and Court house are closed to the public while the COVID-19 emergency is in-place. Authorities say the Sheriff’s Office will still be staffed 24/7, and calls for service will be handled, but the Sheriff’s Office will not be taking care of permits to obtain or renew, permits to carry or permit to purchase, until further notice. The Sheriff’s Office will also not have any visitation on Thursdays until further notice.

The change went into effect Wednesday, and is intended to help protect the staff and General public from the spreading of the COVID -19 virus. If you request a deputy for a call of service at your residence, let the dispatcher know if you have been ill or have a fever. This is to ensure that the Deputies will use precautions to keep safe and help with the risk of spreading the COVID-19 virus to others. The Sheriff’s Office would also like to urge everyone to stay home and use the all precautions to help in not spreading the COVID-19 virus.

The Sheriff’s Office will still be available by calling 641-747-2214 for all non-emergency’s. If you have, any questions feel free to contact the Sheriff’s office.
