CHENANGO COUNTY – Chenango County Sheriff Ernest R. Cutting Jr. recently announced that his office has launched a smartphone app that allows the office to communicate much more effectively with the community. The Chenango County Sheriff’s Office app is a free download and is available for both iPhone and Android smart devices. Users simply search “MobilePatrol” and after downloading, select the Chenango County Sheriff’s Office.

“The most beneficial and significant feature of this app is that it lets us get important information right to people’s fingertips,” said Sheriff Cutting. “The app greatly improves our ability to serve the public, and that’s what we’re here for. We’re thrilled that we can provide this to the community.”

Those who download the app will have access to real-time detention center information, including mug shots, bail amounts, ages, and descriptions.

According to authorities, the app is fully integrated with VINE® (Victim Information and Notification Everyday), which allows crime victims to be notified about the custody status of their offender.
