Tallapoosa County Sheriff’s Office launches app

The Tallapoosa County Sheriff’s office has launched a smartphone app that’s designed to keep people safe and better informed.

The app contains news and information about events, pistol permits, schools and cyber safety.

It also contains a “most wanted” list and offers a way for people to submit a tip to the sheriff’s office.

The Tallapoosa County Sheriff’s Office app was developed by TheSheriffApp.com, a brand of OCV, LLC., which specializes in mobile app development for sheriffs’ offices and public safety organizations across the country.

“Over 80 percent of people in the United States own and use smartphones as their primary means of communication,” OCV Partner and CRO Kevin Cummings said. “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.”

The app is now available to download for free in the App Store and Google Play by searching “Tallapoosa County Sheriff, AL”
