Download the NNSO app

It’s a popular saying with an important message: "See something, say something."

Now when you see something suspicious, you can say something to law enforcement through the Newport News Sheriff’s Office’s app, released June 5. 

“It is the latest tool we have to connect with the community,” says Sheriff Gabe Morgan.

ConnectProtect℠ provides a confidential communication link for people to provide GPS-tagged “See Something, Say Something” suspicious activity information.

The free NNSO app is available for Apple and Android devices.

App users also will get the latest news about the sheriff’s office and learn about public events NNSO personnel are attending.  Users can sign up to receive notifications when new items are posted to the app. 

Sheriff Morgan stresses the cell phone app isn’t designed to report emergency situations. Citizens should call 911 if they have an emergency.

The app, designed by Shield Group Technologies, was made possible thanks to a generous donation from the Wason family.

The Newport News Sheriff’s Office app can be downloaded through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store.

We look forward to working with you to make a difference in Newport News.
