Less than a week after taking office, Jefferson County Sheriff Mike Brasfield has given his agency a new home on the Internet.
The site features crime statistics, sex offender information and news updates from the department.
Statistics from as recent as last year are posted in easy-to-read graphs.
The Web site also includes basic information about the Sheriff’s Office.
Visitors can also use the site as a method of contacting the department.
But the agency’s new Web site, www.jeffersonsheriff.org, is still in its infancy, Sheriff’s Office officials say.
Residents should keep watch on the site for new information, officials say.
