The Marion County Detention / Dispatch division is located at the Marion County Sheriff's Department (491 Highway 62 West in Yellville). The operations of these two entities are under the supervision of a Jail Administrator. The detention / dispatch division is also the Marion County 911 answering and dispatch center and consists of 2 separate 911 consoles.
