Sheriff's Office announces new smartphone app for citizens

Ever heard the phrase, “There’s an app for that?”

Nash County Sheriff Dick Jenkins is proud to announce that his office has launched a smartphone app that allows the Sheriff’s Office to communicate much more effectively with the citizens of Nash County. The Nash County Sheriff’s Office app is a free download and is available for both iPhone and Android smart devices. Users simply search for ‘MobilePatrol’ and after downloading, you select your state and county.

Users of this app will have access to real-time detention center information with mug shots, charges, and offender information. The app is fully integrated with VINE (Victim Information and Notification Everyday), which allows crime victims to be notified about the custody status of their offender. Additionally, the Sheriff’s Office can send push notifications right to the user’s phone including Amber Alerts (including photos), severe weather warnings, urgent wanted subjects, manhunts, or any other local emergencies that may be occurring at the time. The app also includes news, most-wanted suspects, and the facility location on a map, the Sheriff’s
Office phone directory, and much more. It also has a direct link to the Sheriff’s Office Facebook page and Twitter page.

This app is just another tool that the Sheriff’s Office is utilizing in an effort to gets its message and information out to the citizens of Nash County. It simply compliments the other tools that we are already using such as Facebook, Twitter, Nixle, and CrimeReports. The Nash County Sheriff’s Office is committed to ensuring that
the citizens of Nash County are up-to-date and informed about what this Office is doing on a daily basis.

This app comes free of charge to the Sheriff’s Office and is provided by Appriss Inc. Attorneys and Bail Bonding Companies can advertise on the app. If you are interested in advertising on the app, then you can contact Appriss at 1-800-583-1737 or [email protected].
