Recently, the Clallam County Alert System was used to notify citizens about an armed and dangerous suspect that law enforcement was attempting to locate. The suspect was apprehended and charged.

The Clallam County Sheriff’s Office offers the Clallam Alert System, a text messaging system that alerts citizens when there is a threat to public safety and security.

Users do not need to respond to messages, though they are encouraged to secure home and property and report sightings of the person or vehicle that may be involved in an incident.

There is no charge to you for responding to the message by pressing “1” or sending a “yes” in response to a text message.

To sign up or to customize your message delivery, visit www.clallam.net/Sheriff/ and click on “sign up” for the Clallam Alert System located at the top of the Sheriff’s home webpage.
