Craig County Sheriff's Office

Craig County Sheriff's Office Website Redesign

Modernizing a long-standing sheriff's office website with improved inmate information, community notifications, and public safety tools.

Project Overview

The Craig County Sheriff's Office in Oklahoma first partnered with Sheriff Websites in 2019 to establish an online resource for its community. As the department's needs evolved and new website features became available, the Sheriff's Office chose to modernize its existing website rather than start over with an entirely different provider.

The redesign focused on making public information easier to access, expanding community notification options, and providing the department with practical tools for keeping residents informed.

The Challenge: Keeping Up with Changing Community Needs

Sheriff's offices manage a constant flow of public information, from inmate bookings and wanted persons to department announcements and safety alerts.

As Craig County's original website aged, the department wanted to take advantage of newer features that could improve how residents received information and interacted with the Sheriff's Office.

The goal wasn't simply to give the website a fresh appearance. It was to make the website a more useful resource for both the community and department personnel.

Our Solution: A Modern Website Built Around Public Information

Sheriff Websites redesigned the Craig County Sheriff's Office website with mobile-friendly navigation, improved access to important resources, and expanded public notification capabilities.

Key features include:

• Online Inmate Information: An enhanced inmate information system that allows residents, families, and legal representatives to access available jail information online.
  
• Email Subscription Notifications: Residents can subscribe to updates about newly booked inmates, Most Wanted individuals, registered sex offenders, and Sheriff's Office announcements.
  
• Most Wanted Information: A dedicated public resource for sharing information about individuals wanted by law enforcement.
  
• Sex Offender Information: Online access to information about registered sex offenders.
  
• News and Public Safety Updates: A centralized location for department announcements, press releases, and important community information.
• Mobile-Friendly Design: A responsive website that makes these resources accessible on phones, tablets, and desktop computers.

How These Features Support the Sheriff's Office

Making frequently requested information easier to find

Online inmate information, Most Wanted listings, and sex offender resources allow residents to look up available public information without having to rely exclusively on phone calls to the department.

Helping residents stay informed automatically

The email subscription system gives community members the option to receive notifications about important updates instead of repeatedly checking the website.

Simplifying public communication

By bringing department news, public safety information, and community resources together, the website provides a consistent location for sharing information with Craig County residents.

Supporting changing departmental needs

The redesign also demonstrates the benefit of maintaining an ongoing relationship with a website provider familiar with law enforcement operations. As new tools became available, Craig County could expand the functionality of its existing website.

More Than a Website Redesign

Craig County's project reflects how a sheriff's office website can evolve alongside the department it serves.

What began as a website partnership in 2019 has grown into a more comprehensive public information platform, combining accessible resources, community notifications, and modern website functionality.

For sheriff's offices considering a website upgrade, Craig County offers an example of how an established website can be modernized to provide additional services without losing sight of its original purpose: connecting the department with the community.
