Sheriff’s Office launches website today complete with 36 pages of
wanted individuals
web
posted September 23, 2009
EDGEFIELD – Edgefield County Sheriff Adell
Dobey announced Tuesday the launching of the Sheriff’s Office official
website that will be “an information hub for the community as well as a
tool for fighting crime.” Included in the information available on the
website is a Most Wanted list as well as a 36-page “active warrant
list” that is updated at least once a week.
The website, which has been under development for several months, also
provides citizens with crime prevention tips, frequently asked
questions, information on all divisions of the Sheriff’s Office, a sex
offender registry, and civil process and background check fees.
“The Edgefield County Sheriff's Office will make every effort to
provide links and services available to the citizens of Edgefield
County and surrounding communities through this site,” a press release
issue Tuesday said.
Corporal Sonny Reel developed the website and said it has actually been
online for a few weeks, “we just didn’t announce it while it was being
tweaked.”
Producing a warrant list online has been very successful for Aiken
County Sheriff Michael Hunt resulting in a number of individuals
turning themselves in for warrants they did not know were issued for
their arrest.
The Edgefield County Sheriff’s Office is hoping to get a similar
response.
Although a large number of those listed are wanted for misdemeanors
ranging from trespassing to bad checks, the list also includes many
felony warrants that range from General Sessions Court bench warrants
to attempted murder, complete with pictures of those wanted.
Sheriff Dobey has also made the website an important tool in fighting
crime by providing citizens a way to email tips of possible criminal
activity or wanted individuals in their communities. Citizens using the
website to report crime can rest assured that all information provided
will be held strictly confidential.
The Edgefield County
Sheriff’s Office website can be found here. A direct link will also
be placed on the Headlines page of EdgefieldDaily.com for easy access.
