This app puts those tools directly into your hands and helps us stay better connected with the people we serve every day. It’s one more step in making Douglas County a safer, more informed place to live and visit.” -Sheriff Tyler Caille We encourage everyone to download the app and use it to stay informed about what’s happening in Douglas County.
