Technology improves delivery of information to residents

Saline County Sheriff Bruce Pennington announced today that his office has launched a Smartphone app that allows the Sheriff’s Office to communicate much more effectively with the community.  The Saline County Sheriff’s Office app is a free download for users and is available currently for Android smart devices and soon for I-Phone.

Users of the app will have access to real-time detention center information, plus lists of non-custodial parents and most-wanted criminals.  The sheriff’s Office will also be able to send news and alerts directly to users’ Smartphone's-notifying them about anything from bank robberies and missing persons to escapes, weather warnings and more.

“The most beneficial and significant feature of this app is that it lets us get important information right to people’s fingertips”, said Sheriff Pennington.  “We know that more and more people are getting the information they need from their Smartphone's,” said Sheriff Pennington.  “We want to make sure we’re using the latest communication technology to keep the public informed, and this app lets us do that.”

The Saline County Sheriff’s office has also previously launched a real-time detention center information on their website:  www.scsosheriff.org

With the addition of the Smartphone app, the citizens of Saline County have even more ways to access information at the Saline County Sheriff’s Office.
