The McIntosh County Sheriff’s Office officially launched its brand-new website yesterday, after months of work behind the scenes.

The new site reflects Sheriff TK King’s commitment to communication, transparency, and staying connected with the people of McIntosh County. It also gives citizens an easy place to find important information, learn more about the Sheriff’s Office, explore programs and services, and stay connected with what’s happening in our community.

Sheriff King has made community engagement a priority from day one, and this website is another way to make the Sheriff’s Office more accessible to the people it serves.

Take a few minutes to check it out, look around, and see all that’s available. Great FLOCK transparency portal! 👉 https://www.mcintoshsheriff.com

A great new resource for McIntosh County!
