“Technology is evolving, and we are, too,” said Sheriff Gary Cutler. "With today's technological advances, I think it's critical that we continue to keep up with the times in order to stay connected with our communities and constituents. People are accustomed to getting news alerts / information in real time, and I think that remains true for law enforcement and public safety information. During these unprecedented times in our country it is all the more important that we in public service communicate with our citizens."
The Hays County Sheriff’s Office mobile app was created by TheSheriffApp. com, a division of OCV, LLC, which specializes in mobile app development for public safety organizations across the country. “More and more public safety agencies are realizing the opportunity they have to reach and serve their public where they are.....on their smartphones,” said Kevin Cummings, vice president with OCV. “We are proud to serve Sheriff Cutler and the citizens of Hays County.”
