Sheriff Anders thanked supporters of Prop A in a facebook post Wednesday afternoon:

The overwhelming support from each of you means more to this agency than you will ever know. I cannot think of a greater tribute to these men and women than what we observed last night in the passage of Prop A. We are excited to move into the future and build the greatest sheriff’s office Pettis County not only seen, but so greatly deserves. From each and every one of us here, from the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU!
