Shelby County Sheriff's Office Unveils New Website

SHELBY COUNTY, AL - The Shelby County Sheriff's Office unveiled its new website this week, which features new ways for citizens to stay involved in what is happening in the county. The site's web address will remain the same, but includes a new interface and several new features.

Citizens will still have access to the same content and resources as before. However, there are some new features to the site that will allow the SCSO to provide citizens with more information. For example, users can now sign up to receive news updates via email or text, and the SCSO is now able to add a photograph and links within these news updates so that it can provide additional information to its current news releases.

The new website design is also ADA compliant allowing for a more operable and navigable experience with improved usability.

Those who already receive news updates from the Sheriff’s Office will continue to receive them via email. Current subscribers can also elect to receive news via text message by signing up on the website.

"The men and women of the Shelby County Sheriff’s Office stand ready to assist you when needed," said Shelby County Sheriff John Samaniego. "It is our hope that our updated website is yet another way we can stay connected with our citizens and receive your important feedback."
