The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department is proud to unveil its new and innovative mobile application. The Department is the largest law enforcement agency in the nation to use a mobile application to connect the community with information and resources.
The app, available in the Apple and Android app stores, is free to the public and gives you access to the latest news, photos, videos, events, alerts, and crime information no matter where you are. In addition, the application allows two-way communications using social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube. It also includes a special feature for submitting anonymous tips to the Department, and you can file a crime report from the convenience of your Smartphone.
“One of my priorities is to do all we can to live up to our motto of providing a tradition of service. We now have technology that will help us provide information and help our community find answers and work with us to fight crime” said Sheriff Jim McDonnell. "This mobile app empowers everyone who lives, works, or visits the County of Los Angeles to have access to the Sheriff's Department on their smartphones.”
