KING COUNTY, Wash. — Community members in King County will now be able to submit tips, access inmate information, research sex offenders in their area and more with just a click away on their smartphones.

On Thursday, King County Sheriff Mitzi G. Johanknecht announced a new smartphone app for the King County Sheriff’s Office.

The app will help connect the community with the sheriff’s office and send out information to anyone with a smartphone.

“Open and accurate communication are the fundamentals of transparency, which in turn builds trust with the communities we serve,” said Johanknecht. “Our new mobile app gives us a better way to alert, inform and prepare the public. We even have weather alerts.”

The app provides access to information of public interest:

  • 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
  • And more

The free app is available for both Android and Apple users.

Users who want to download the app can find it in the App Store and Google Play by searching “King Sheriff WA” or clicking here.
