Megan Stracke served as an Administrative Sergeant in the Christian County Sheriff’s Office before accepting a position with Judicial Services of the Ozarks. Megan says her work at JSO helps her really reach people on a deeper level.
Judicial Services of the Ozarks has allowed Megan to continue growing her knowledge and personal development while being able to help others from around the area on a daily basis, she says.
“In our position, we see our clients at their worst most of the time. They are fresh out of jail with court requirements that they will need help navigating through. This allows me to utilize the skills I have to help our clients enter back into a healthy and stable environment while maintaining sobriety and gaining the help that they may need.”
When she is not working, Megan enjoys spending time outdoors and with her family.
