October 12, 2009 | VACP
Nixle, a Community Information Service providing one source for access to credible real-time community information, is encouraging the use of its system by local law enforcement agencies and their communities by offering $10,000 to the top three agencies who register the most users per capita over the next 90 days.
Nixle provides proprietary technology to local police departments, city and municipal governments, and their local agencies and community groups enabling the immediate delivery of geographically relevant information to residents and community visitors, through SMS, web, and email distribution.
If you have not already done so, Nixle is encouraging agencies to place a registration link on their website and their locality's main website to help them gain users. Below is an example of a textual registration link that can be placed on the website(s):"Receive Trusted, Up-To-Date Neighborhood Public Safety and Community Information directly from our department by text message and email. No cost, simple, reliable. Register now by clicking here."Nixle additionally recommends that agencies put out a press release about their community’s use of Nixle. If your agency initially put out a press release, Nixle highly recommends that you do so again as a reminder to your community residents to register for your information. An example of an effective press release can be found by clicking here. Agencies will soon have the ability to directly view their user list through their publishing interface. When this functionality is available, agencies will be notified. A link on your website and additional press releases greatly enhance your community’s awareness of your use of the Nixle service. Any additional promotional materials that you may require, such as citizen registration instruction door hangers may be ordered by sending an email to .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address). The three $10,000 winners will be announced on December 23, 2009.
