 COMMUNITY ALERT SYSTEM - NIXLE.COM

For merchants in San Anselmo, the SAPD wanted to get everyone on board with the new Community Alert system (NIXLE.COM).  The San Anselmo Police Department signed so that we can disseminate up-to-date information to the public. Anyone can sign up to receive instant text messages or email alerts.  It is free and there are no advertisements.   

You can receive instant messages on San Anselmo road closures, such as traffic accidents, crime alerts, wanted or missing persons and community messages.  You can set limits as to what type of information you want sent to you and what times.  If we can get all the merchants of San Anselmo on board, this system can be very useful in putting out alerts to merchants for criminals operating in our area.  A picture of the person, if we have one, can be attached to the message with a description as to what criminal activity they are doing(fraud, thefts etc.).  

 

So far, San Anselmo PD is the first in Marin County, besides CHP for traffic, to register.  Other agencies around the Bay Area are also on board.  We hope that other Marin County agencies will join as the subscriber base gets larger.  Other large municipal agencies are using this service such LA county Sheriffs and New York City. 

 

For more information, feel free to contact me Monday-Friday 7:00 am to 3:00pm at 415-258-4615. Detective Corporal Julie Gorwood, San Anselmo Police Department, 525 San Anselmo Ave., San Anselmo, CA 94960, Office 415-258-4615, Cell 415-720-2664.
