Washington County Sheriff's Department

Launches New Website

 

Sheriff Brent Miller, Washington County Sheriff's Department, launched a new responsive website on 6/2/22 where residents can find the latest information regarding the operations of the Sheriff's Department as well as locate area sex offenders.

 

The new website will serve as an information resource for the public and assist with community policing efforts. The responsive design allows site visitors to access the information they want and need from any device with simple, flexible navigation.

 

The new website, www.washingtoncountyinsheriff.org, features press releases, pages on the Departments and Services of the Washington County Sheriff's Department, a link that allows the community to submit audio and video crime tips, and a Jail Roster. 

 

"Our goal with the website is to provide transparency between our office and the public. We want the public to understand how this department serves the community, residents, and visitors. We want our community members to have the information they need when they need it. The responsive design allows users to quickly and conveniently access the website information on the device of their choice: desktop, laptop, tablet, or smartphone. In addition, the responsive website features a Site Search, which makes finding specific information much faster and easier for the site visitor," said Sheriff Miller.

 

Other features of the website include:

 

Alert Notifications - allows the public to sign up for alert notifications from the Sheriff's Department via email or text - including sex offender notifications, press releases, messages from the Sheriff, most wanted updates, and jail roster updates.

To sign up for alerts visit www.washingtoncountyinsheriff.org/alerts-signup  

 

Jail Roster allows the public to view photos and information for individuals booked into the detention center and/or released within the last 48 hours. 

 

Most Wanted Listings - allows the public to view photos and descriptions of wanted individuals. 

 

Press Releases - allows the public to view a list in date order, sorted by year, press releases and news items posted by the Sheriff's Department.

 

Sex Offenders - allows the public to view photos and information for sex offenders living in the county.  The interactive map feature on the Website allows the public to view sex offender locations on the map, view offender photos and profile information about the offenses.

 

Social Media Links - allows the public to follow the Washington County Sheriff's Department on Facebook.

 

"Posting information on the Website improves the efficiency of the Sheriff's Department by reducing the number of inquiry calls handled by our department. This tool allows us to devote more resources to the safety and security of our residents. Our intent is for every County resident to visit the site and become familiar with how to locate sex offenders, how to submit a crime tip and where to find the latest news and updates from the Sheriff's department. We believe the website is a huge benefit to the Sheriff's department and the residents of Washington County as well," said Sheriff Miller.
