Douglas County sheriff's office highlights new online reporting and Dougco Alert signup
Summary
A representative from the Douglas County Sheriff's Office briefed the council on an updated online non-emergency reporting system and the Dougco Alert emergency-notification platform, encouraging residents to sign up and designate multiple addresses.
A representative of the Douglas County Sheriff's Office briefed the Castle Pines City Council on two service updates. The sheriff's office described a new online non-emergency reporting system that allows residents to submit reports (e.g., thefts, insurance claims) via phone or tablet without a dispatch response for non-emergencies. The presenter said the tool is intended to increase efficiency and make reporting easier for residents.
The sheriff's office representative also promoted Dougco Alert, the county emergency-notification system that allows residents to register multiple addresses and select the level of notifications they wish to receive. The speaker said the system was used during a nearby fire and that residents in Castle Pines can sign up to receive targeted alerts for their home, work or other areas of interest. The city will post links to the county system on the city's website, the presenter said.
