The free app, called “Los Angeles County Sheriff,” is available on Android and iOS devices.

“One of my priorities is to do all we can to live up to our motto of providing a tradition of service. We now have technology that will help us provide information and help our community find answers and work with us to fight crime,” said Sheriff Jim McDonnell. “This mobile app empowers everyone who lives, works or visits the county of Los Angeles to have access to the Sheriff’s Department on their smartphones.”

The mobile app gives Santa Clarita Valley residents different ways to obtain information from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.

It allows residents to submit anonymous tips to help fight crime or report suspicious activity anywhere in Los Angeles County, and features a map showing all criminal activity reported throughout the county.

The app also shows what jobs are being offered through the department, and allows applicants to begin the process of applying.

Another feature is up-to-date information on inmates that are in custody with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, and an easy way for friends and family members to set up visits with inmates.

The app offers ways to send non-emergency questions to the department 24-7 and provides users access to a directory of contact numbers within the department.

LASD officials plan on adding additional features to the app in the future.

About Louie Diaz

Louie was born and raised in Santa Clarita. At the age of two Louie lost his vision due to a brain tumor. However, Louie doesn't let blindness stop him from doing what ever it is he wants to accomplish. Growing up some of his favorite hobbies were wood working, fishing and riding bikes. Louie graduated from College of the Canyon in December of 2017, with a Broadcast Journalism degree. Growing up Louie has always wanted to be a fire fighter or a police officer, but because of his blindness Louie knew that wouldn't work. Louie has always loved listening to police and fire radio traffic, using a scanner, and he figured if he was going to listen to the scanner so much, he should do something with it.
