Fulton and Cobb county residents have a new way to interact with law enforcement.
On Wednesday, Fulton County Sheriff Patrick Labat and Cobb County Sheriff Craig D. Owens announced new mobile apps for their respective agencies. The apps are now available to download from the Apple App store and Google Play.
Users can submit crime tips, search jails for inmates and even search for registered sex offenders in their communities. Residents should still dial 911 for emergencies, but the “Submit a Tip” and “Contact Us” features of the apps allow residents to easily submit important information directly to the sheriff’s offices, the announcement said.
“We are always working to increase the transparency of the Fulton County Sheriff’s Office, as we work to serve our community,” Labat said. “This app brings FCSO into the 21st century, and reaches citizens on the method of communication they use the most—their cell phones.”
Labat said the Fulton app was created in collaboration with his division commanders and the “Sheriff’s App team.”
