The Sheriff’s Department is proud to announce the official roll-out of its new department public website, www.sdsheriff.gov, which was designed with an emphasis on the users’ experience and ability to intuitively navigate the webpage. This website will be compatible with browser settings to offer translation in various languages and has an accessibility widget to assist people with a variety of disabilities. The website will also be compatible in different viewing modes such as mobile device, tablet, laptop, or desktop modes. With these added tools, online visitors will have greater access to the information available on our website.
The Sheriff’s recruiting website, www.joinsdsheriff.net, also received a design over-haul so that it too will be branded to the parent-site. We recognize first impressions impact our digital followers and prospective candidates; therefore, the new website designs hope to demonstrate our department’s commitment to being modern and cognizant of the user-experience.
It is our hope that these webpages will help us interact with the communities we serve, assist with telling our story, and increase our ability to recruit quality individuals who are interested in working for our department.
