1. GILA COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE ANNUAL REPORT 2018

2. SHERIFF J. ADAM SHEPHERD

3. To the Citizens of Gila County from Gila County Sheriff Adam Shepherd: • Welcome to the 2018 Annual Report for the Gila County Sheriff’s Office. We are excited to inform the citizens and visitors to Gila County that in addition to the numerous services that we continue to provide, we added 2 new services in 2018 making it even easier for members of the public to obtain information and interact with the office. • First, the Sheriff’s Office contracted with Logic Tree IT Solutions to develop a branded smartphone app. The app provides a variety of information, one of the most popular being the mugshot section. Photographs accompany criminal charge(s) for recent arrestees. Additionally, the app allows users to make direct contact with dispatch, report suspicious activity directly to north and south commands, report suspicious drug activity to the task force, and be linked to other county law enforcement agency’s Facebook pages. Other areas of the app are being developed and we see this becoming the premier method in maintaining contact with the citizens that we serve. • Second, the Sheriff Office entered into additional agreements with our existing inmate calling provider (GTL Inc.) to provide a modern visitation system. It is no longer necessary for friends and family of arrestees to travel to our detention centers for visitation; they can simply sign up for an online service and schedule their visit remotely using a computer, tablet or smartphone and internet connection. Although there is a small fee for the service, it eliminates the inconvenience of having to travel to our jails. In-person visitation (using the same system) is still available at the Globe and Payson locations. • In addition to visiting our offices in Globe and Payson in person, citizens can also connect to our Facebook page by searching for ‘Gila County Sheriff’s Office,’ and following our page for real-time emergency notices and regional information including our daily news releases (Further information on social media contact can be found later in this report). In addition, Offender Watch’ is an automated sex-offender tracking system where residents can search their neighborhoods and sign up for notifications. Simply follow this link to sign up for the service: http://www.gilacountyaz.gov/government/sheriff/index.php • We also continue to offer a completely anonymous reporting system for criminal activity, thanks to a partnership with Freeport McMoran called ‘WeTip’. Information can be provided online at https://wetip.com/ or by calling 1-800-78-crime. • The Sheriff’s Office encourages all county residents to sign up with Everbridge at http://www.readygila.com/and follow other information on the site regarding preparedness for emergencies. In addition statewide road conditions can be found through the State of Arizona’s information system on the internet at http://www.az511.gov/traffic/ , or by calling 511. • We are always looking for persons who would like to explore a career in law enforcement, who have served in another jurisdiction or would like to volunteer for the Sheriff’s Office. For more information please visit the Sheriff’s Office or Gila County Human Resources in person, contact us by phone (Globe 928-425-4449) or (Payson 928-474-2208) or by internet at: http://www.gilacountyaz.gov/government/human_resources/employment/employment_opportunities.php • It is a distinct honor for me and the entire Sheriff’s Office staff to serve the Gila County Community. • J.
