Jackson County Sheriff’s Office Announcement

The Jackson County Sheriff’s Office would like to make the public aware of its new TEXT to 911 program. This is a free service that can be used in emergency situations where voice calls cannot be safely made. For instance, the text to 911 service is designed to be more available for victims of abduction, domestic violence, or active shooter situations. Additionally, the program is also ideal for those who have issues hearing, have speech disabilities, and those whose first language is not English.
