It's part of the annual Missouri Sheriff's Association training conference.
Speakers from around the country will talk with sheriffs about different threats, and how to handle them.
Those threats include terrorism, dealing with PTSD and one of the biggest threats, which affects kids - school violence.
"Kids are more likely to die by school violence than any other way at school combined," says Col. Dave Grossman (ret.), one of the conference speakers.
"The numbers have increased, and last year we had a new record for the most violent deaths in the school."
Missouri Attorney General Chris Koster is also speaking to the Sheriff's conference.
The conference started Sunday, and runs through Thursday.
All of the sheriffs will be recognized at the Ozark Empire Fair Tuesday night.
