KCSO: There's an app for that

King County Sheriff Mitzi G. Johanknecht has announced the release of a new smartphone application for the King County Sheriff’s Office.

Shoreline is a contract department of the King County Sheriff's Office. The app will cover Shoreline plus unincorporated King County and all the other contract cities, including Kenmore.

This app will serve as a new way for the sheriff’s office to connect with King County residents and visitors, providing information quickly and efficiently to anyone with a smartphone.

The app offers quick access to items of public interest and is easy to use. In just a few clicks, users can:

• Submit a tip
• Meet the Sheriff
• Access COVID-19 resources
• Receive push notifications
• Connect to the organization’s social media platforms
• Read the latest news and updates
• Access inmate information
• Research sex offenders in the area

“Open and accurate communication are the fundamentals of transparency, which in turn builds trust with the communities we serve,” said Sheriff Johanknecht. 

“Our new mobile app gives us a better way to alert, inform and prepare the public. We even have weather alerts.” 

The King County Sheriff’s Office app is available for both Android and Apple users.
