Alerts, Advisories, and News

The Public Information Officer shares Emergency Alerts, Advisories and News with the community. 

Emergency Alert
Opt-in  to receive an emergency alert when there is a confirmed immediate threat to the safety of the community, ie. active harmers, severe weather, time-sensitive life safety concerns, and other police activity.

Advisory
Police Advisory is an email or text notification or social media posts that provide increased community awareness of ongoing or dangerous situations, ie. robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, weapons violations, or other police activity.

News
Police News is a notification that does not rise to the level of an emergency alert of advisory, but that the community benefits from awareness, ie. sudden road closures, community program information and other opportunities.

Social

The Police Department uses a variety of social media platforms to keep the public engaged in, and informed of, our services, initiatives, programs, and events. From public safety messages to more in-depth stories featuring officers and professional staff, visitors learn about all aspects of the department on Facebook, Twitter, Nextdoor, Instagram, Threads, and Ring.
