St. Mary Parish Sheriff's Office now part of Neighbors

The St. Mary Parish Sheriff’s Office has joined Neighbors, an organization devoted to promoting public safety.

“The SMPSO is excited to join Neighbors in our efforts to connect with residents and improve the safety of our communities,” the Sheriff’s Office said in a Facebook post. “Neighbors allows you, the user, to share photos, videos, and information related to local crime and safety incidents so fellow residents can stay informed.”

The SMPSO can view what local residents have posted publicly to Neighbors and can now chime in with relevant updates or safety alerts to help residents stay informed.

You do not need a ring device to join Neighbors.

Anyone with a smart phone can download the Neighbors app to receive updates and have the option to post photos or videos from any device.

For those in the unincorporated areas of St. Mary Parish, our number is 337-828-1960.
