Sheriff's Office Adds Search to Website

New features are being put into operation on the Benton County Sheriff’s Office’s website, www.bentoncountysheriff.org, and public training will be held today and tomorrow.

Geographic information system software will allow residents to search maps linked to incidents reported to the Sheriff’s Office in unincorporated areas of Benton County. The continuously updating software uses data from the past two years and was developed through the Benton County GIS office.

Development of the software was paid for through a 2011 Justice Assistance Grant.

Programmers will discuss the new elements of the site today at 8:30 a.m. in the Quorum Court room of the Benton County Administration building, 215 E. Central Ave. A second training will be available from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Thursday in the Quorum Court room.
