St. Johns County Sheriff's Office now offering text-to-admin service

Jacksonville, FL — It's taking texting to the next level.

In addition to their ‘Text to 9-1-1’ service, the St. Johns County Sheriff's Office is now offering a text line for non-emergency situations.

This 'Text to Administration' feature will be routed through an application and allow for non-emergency communication, when a phone call isn't possible.

All you have to do is type in the Sheriff's Office phone number, 904-824-8304, as the recipient of the text and then send your message.

But the Sheriff's Office warns there may a delay in the text response, so if you have an emergency, call or text 911 instead.
