Amador County – The Amador County Sheriff’s Department on Thursday announced the implementation of a new internet-based software program that will allow citizens to view crime and jail information through Sheriff’s Department website.

AmadorSheriff.org will have “Citizen RIMS” which will allow anyone with an Internet connection to view information online. Crime Mapping will show a common crime pin mapping feature where the user picks a time frame and the types of crimes to be mapped. Clicking on a mapped case icon shows more information about the case.

An arrest log displays arrests by the Amador Sheriff’s Department for the past 30 days. The log displays basic information, personal data that is allowed by statute and the booking photograph of the arrestee.

A “Who’s in Jail” feature gives access to detailed public information about people currently in custody. This is also where the public can access recent jail bookings from all law enforcement agencies in Amador County. For additional information about individual inmates, click on the inmate’s name.

A Crime Charts function summarizes Uniform Crime Reporting data in easily understood charts, with year to year comparisons. Missing Persons shows current Amador County Missing Persons with pictures, when available.

A “Sign Up for Alerts” feature allows site visitors to subscribe to a free service that emails new crime data to them on a daily or weekly basis. To sign up for alerts, follow the link at the bottom right of the website page.

Anyone can access the information by going to the Website at AmadorSheriff.org and following the link in the left hand column to “Citizen RIMS.”
