Sex Offender Sweep Conducted
in Northern Cass County
On 03/26/26, the Cass County Sheriff’s Office,
in partnership with the United States Marshals Service – Western District of
Missouri, conducted Operation Accountability, a multi-agency sex offender
employment verification operation in northern Cass County.
The operation included participation from nine
additional law enforcement agencies across Missouri and Kansas.
Deputies verified employment information for
41 registered sex offenders working within the 64012 and 64083 zip codes,
including the communities of Belton, Raymore, and Lake Winnebago.
As a result of the operation, nine state and
two federal violations were identified and remain under investigation.
“These types of operations are essential to
ensuring and verifying the accuracy of offender registration information that
they provide, and maintaining compliance,” said Sheriff Jeff Weber.
Operation Accountability demonstrates the
strong collaboration among regional law enforcement agencies and their shared
commitment to protecting the community and holding offenders accountable.
Anyone with information regarding a
non-compliant or absconded sex offender is encouraged to contact the Cass
County Sheriff’s Office or their local Sheriff’s Office.
