The Sumter County Sheriff’s Office has unveiled a new app that gives residents an easy way to interact with the law enforcement agency.
The app provides residents with ways to submit tips, receive notifications and reminders and get involved via social media. Those downloading the app also will be able to do inmate searches, learn more about sex offenders living near them and check out the most wanted list.
The easy-to-use app also offers updates on news and events residents will need to know. There’s a tab for getting involved with sheriff’s office in the community. And there’s also a place to leave comments and feedback.
According to Sumter County Sheriff Bill Farmer, the goal of the app is to make it easier for his department to stay connected with residents.
“Sumter County is one of the fastest-growing counties in Florida, encompassing 580 square miles, and is home to over 115,000 people,” Farmer writes in his welcome to residents on the app. “We feel it is important to embrace multiple channels to communicate important information.”
The new app is available at the iPhone App Store or Google Play Store by searching for Sumter County Sheriff’s Office.
