Sheriff launches real time crime data app for transparency

In a significant move towards transparency, the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office announced the launch of a new mobile application that provides real-time crime data to the public. This initiative aims to enhance community engagement by allowing residents to access information without needing to contact the office directly.

Sheriff's officials highlighted that this application is part of a broader strategy to lead in law enforcement innovation. Alongside the app, the Sheriff's Office has made its policies publicly accessible online for the past ten months. This includes critical documents such as use of force and pursuit policies, which can now be viewed easily on their website.

The Sheriff's Office emphasized its commitment to transparency, stating that these resources are designed to empower the community with information about law enforcement practices and data. This initiative reflects a growing trend among law enforcement agencies to foster trust and accountability through open communication with the public.
