Our New Policy Website

We’re proud to introduce a major overhaul to our policy page. Do everything you could do before, with more new features than ever before, with the new HCSO policy website.

Founded in 1837, the Harris County Sheriff’s Office (HCSO) is the largest sheriff’s office in Texas and third largest in the nation.

A quick overview of the new features you get versus the old policy website:

Accessibility

✔ Access https://hcsopolicy.com anywhere.

✔ Looks good on any device.

✔ Share links to any policy with anyone.

✔ Search through every policy, form, and SOP at once, your search term is highlighted in the results.

✔ View PDFs in the web browser, share, or download them.

User Experience

✔ It’s fast.

✔ Easy to read typography.

✔ References are linked and embedded. Hover over CALEA standards to read the actual standard.

✔ Table of contents allows quick skipping to sections of interest.

✔ Light and dark theme.

Search

The ability to search is a new, much-needed feature which brings a lot of possibilities. It searches through the contents and titles of the policies.

  • Use quotes to search for specific phrases.
  • Search for acronyms. Searching for “mfr” also searches for “mobile field reporting”.
  • Whatever you searched for will be highlighted in your results, and in the policy you select.
