- Most Wanted
- Agency contacts
- Animal Services information and pets available for adoption
- Cold cases

“This app is invaluable tool, both for the people we serve, as well as our deputies, because it is not just a one-way communication device,” Sheriff Paul Blackman said. “In addition to the HCSO being able to send out important push notifications to alert the county to important events and serving as a way to read all of our press releases, the app will also give citizens an easy way to send us a tip and even file an online report for certain types of crimes. I encourage everyone in our county to download this free app.”
