This morning, a press conference was held to announce the rollout of two significant technological advancements from the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office aimed at enhancing public access to crime data.

The first initiative is a public crime dashboard, developed in-house by the Sheriff's Office's IT and crime analysis teams. This dashboard will provide residents with real-time information about crime trends in unincorporated areas of the county and specific neighborhoods. Users will be able to view data on various crime categories, including burglaries, robberies, and car thefts, without needing to contact the sheriff's office for information. The dashboard will be updated nightly, ensuring that the community has access to the most current data.

In addition to the dashboard, the Sheriff's Office has launched a new mobile application, available for download on app stores. This app will offer a range of services related to corrections and other sheriff's office functions, allowing users to access the crime dashboard and other important information directly from their smartphones.

Officials encourage the public, including realtors and local commissioners, to utilize these tools to stay informed about crime in their areas. The initiatives reflect the Sheriff's Office's commitment to transparency and innovation in addressing community safety concerns.
