The Fort Bend County Sheriff’s Office has launched a new and innovative mobile app that will “redefine the way residents interact with law enforcement.”

The Fort Bend County Sheriff’s Office launched their new mobile app today. The app is free and available to download.

The app will change the way residents interact with law enforcement and access critical resources within the community. The app is a customized smartphone app to serve as a centralized platform for information, services, and updates pertinent to the Sheriff’s Office and public safety.

“Over 80 percent of people in the United States own and use smartphones as their primary means of communication,” says OCV Partner and CRO Kevin Cummings. “Mobile apps offer agencies a better way to alert, inform and prepare the public. Apps allow public safety agencies the ability to reach and serve their citizens where they are: their smartphones.”
