History of Platte County Sheriff's Office to be Chronicled by Park University's Fishburn Archives
In an exciting new venture, Park University's Frances Fishburn Archives and Special Collections have partnered with the Platte County Sheriff's Office to chronicle the history of the law enforcement agency. This project, which does not involve any known advertisements, aims to produce materials that will be accessible to the public.
The Platte County Sheriff's Office, founded in 1839, has a rich history that spans nearly two centuries. Prior to this, Platte County was under the jurisdiction of the Clay County sheriff. The initiative will document events that the agency may be proud of, as well as those that may not be agreed with today, providing a comprehensive account of the office's history.
Mark Owen, the current Platte County sheriff, has expressed gratitude towards Park University and its faculty, staff, and students for their willingness to help document the history of the Platte County Sheriff's Office. The partnership will not incur any costs for the county, as it is being completed at no charge to the county.
The project will involve Park University faculty, staff, and history students conducting research and interviewing individuals related to the Platte County Sheriff's Office history. The materials resulting from this project will be made available to the public through electronic means, ensuring easy access for all.
The partnership between Park University and the Platte County Sheriff's Office is expected to take several years to complete. The work will contribute to the agency's understanding of its identity and history, enhancing public understanding of the role and evolution of the Platte County Sheriff's Office.
Individuals who have photographs or memorabilia related to the Platte County Sheriff's Office are asked to contact the University's Fishburn Archives via their website. This collaboration is a testament to Park University's commitment to serving the community and preserving its history.
