Everbridge is used to distribute emergency notifications, severe weather information, traffic advisories and other time-sensitive public safety messages. The Sheriff’s Office also identifies Everbridge and its verified social media accounts as official sources for confirmed public safety information.
The Everbridge app is available through the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. Once downloaded, users should enable notifications and subscribe to Beaufort County alerts.

Need Law Enforcement Assistance?
For emergencies, call 9-1-1.
For situations requiring law enforcement assistance that are not emergencies, call the Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office Non-Emergency Dispatch line at 843-524-2777. The line is available 24/7, and callers can request to speak with a deputy.
Do not use social media to report an emergency, report a crime or request an immediate law enforcement response. Sheriff’s Office social media platforms are not continuously monitored and should not be used as a substitute for calling 9-1-1 or Non-Emergency Dispatch.
