The Missouri Department of Public Safety has updated the Missouri Automated Victim Notification System (MOVANS), requiring users to re-register to receive notifications about offenders in local jails or detention centers. The changes took effect on May 6, and users can update their preferences on the MOVANS website or contact the Department of Public Safety. MOVANS allows registered crime victims and concerned citizens to receive automated updates about court events and changes in custody status. Users can also manage notifications related to court events or defendants through the system.
