Springfield, IL – The Sangamon County Sheriff’s Office has launched a new mobile app designed to enhance communication and safety throughout the county. Officials announced Thursday that “The Sheriff’s App” is now available for download in both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.
According to the department, the app allows residents to quickly access inmate searches, sex offender information, jail details, and records requests. It also includes options to view department updates, open positions, and submit applications directly through the app.
The Sheriff’s Office says the app will play a key role in sharing real-time safety alerts during severe weather, major incidents, and other public safety emergencies. “We’ll use the app to send out important safety alerts during severe weather, major incidents, and other public safety situations,” the agency stated in its release.
Officials emphasized that the new app is not meant for emergency use. Residents are reminded to call 911 if they need immediate assistance.
The launch aligns with a growing trend among Illinois law enforcement agencies to improve community outreach and provide transparent, easily accessible public information through digital tools.
