- St. Clair Sheriff website
The St. Clair County Sheriff’s Office launched a new responsive website on May 14, where residents can find the latest information regarding the operations of the Sheriff’s Office as well as view booked and recently released inmates.
The new website will serve as an information resource for the public and assist with community policing efforts. The responsive design allows site visitors to access the information they want and need from any device with simple, flexible navigation.
The new website, www.StClairSheriff.org, features press releases, messages from Sheriff Billy Murray which are updated frequently, pages on the services of each division of the Sheriff’s Office, as well as a link to submit crime tips to Crime Stoppers of Metro Alabama.
“Our goal with the website is to provide transparency between our office and the public. We want the public to understand how this office serves the community, residents, and visitors. We want our community members to have the information they need, when they need it. The responsive design allows users to quickly and conveniently access the website information on the device of their choice: desktop, laptop, tablet, or smartphone. In addition, the responsive website features a Site Search, which makes finding specific information much faster and easier for the site visitor,” said Sheriff Billy Murray.
Other features of the website include:
Alert Notifications – allows the public to sign up for alert notifications from the Sheriff’s Office via email and/or text – including press releases, messages from the Sheriff, most wanted updates, special alerts, and jail roster updates.
Jail Roster – allows the public to view photos and information for individuals booked into the detention center and/or released within the last 48 hours.
Most Wanted Listings – allows the public to view photos and descriptions of wanted individuals.
Press Releases – allows the public to view a list in date order, sorted by year, of press release and news items posted by the Sheriff’s Office.
Social Media Links – allows the public to follow the St. Clair County Sheriff’s Office on Twitter.
The St. Clair County Sheriff’s Office announced a new mobile App available for download in the Google Play and Apple store on May 31. The App is free for users to download on both Android and iOS mobile devices. To download, visit https://www.stclairsheriff.org and click “Download Our App” in the menu, or go to the Google Play or Apple store and type “St Clair Sheriff AL” in the search bar.
The mobile App allows residents and visitors quick, easy access to the most important features of the website: Contact Us, Inmate Roster, Most Wanted, Press Releases, and Special Alerts.
“Posting information on the website improves the efficiency of the Sheriff’s Office by reducing the number of inquiry calls handled by our office. This tool allows us to devote more resources to the safety and security of our residents. Our intent is for every County resident to visit the site and become familiar with how to view Most Wanted individuals, how to view the recent inmate bookings and releases, and where to find the latest news and updates from the Sheriff’s Office. We believe the Website is a huge benefit to the Sheriff’s Office and the residents of St. Clair County as well,” said Sheriff Murray.
