The DeWitt County Sheriff's Department has revamped their website.

The Department worked with CrimeStoppers, who helped fund the design, for the past several months to get it up and running. DeWitt County Sheriff Jered Shofner says the website contains information requested most by citizens. He says the biggest highlight is the sex offenders list. He says this will help citizens better monitor them.
