 Webster Sheriff’s Office Launches New Website

The Webster County Sheriff’s Office launched a new Website on June 26, 2012 where residents can find the latest information regarding the operations of the Sheriff’s Office as well as locate area sex offenders.

The new Website will serve as an information resource for the public and assist with community policing efforts. The Website, www.webstercountymosheriff.org , provides updated information on all aspects of the Sheriff’s Office.

One of the main goals of the new Website is to provide information to the public about sex offenders living in the County. The interactive map feature on the Website allows the public to view sex offender locations on a map as well as view offender photos and profile information about the offenses committed.  Site visitors can also click on a list of the offender’s names to view their profile information.

 “The safety of county residents is our primary concern at the Sheriff’s Office. We feel the sex offender Website map feature allows us to better-protect county residents by keeping them informed,” stated Sheriff Cole.

In addition to the interactive sex offender map, the new Website also features press releases, messages from Sheriff Roye Cole 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 via email.

Other features of the Website include: (only select statements that describe the features applicable to your site – delete all others)

Most Wanted Listings – allows the public to view photos and descriptions of wanted individuals.

Alert Notifications – allows the public to sign up for alert notifications from the Sheriff’s Office via email or text – including sex offender notifications, press releases, messages from the Sheriff and most wanted updates.

“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. The new Website provides greater transparency for the Sheriff’s Office and encourages the public to take a more active role in community policing efforts. Our intent is for every County resident to visit the site and become familiar with how to locate sex offenders, how to submit a crime tip and where to find the latest news and updates from the Sheriff’s Office. We believe the Web site is a huge benefit to the Sheriff’s Office and the residents of Webster County as well,” said Sheriff Cole.
