NIXLE POLICE ALERT SYSTEM DEBUTS

SIOUX CITY POLICE HAVE SET UP A NEW COMMUNICATION SYSTEM TO GET EMERGENCY INFORMATION TO THE PUBLIC.

CRIME PREVENTION OFFICER RYAN BERTRAND SAYS THE NIXLE COMMUNITY INFORMATION SERVICE SENDS OUT ALERTS BY TEXT MESSAGES AND E-MAIL:

BERTRAND SAYS NIXLE WILL BE USED FOR A WIDE RANGE OF INFORMATION:  

MESSAGES CAN ALSO BE LOCALIZED TO RESIDENTS WITHIN A QUARTER MILE OF A SPECIFIC ALERT THROUGH THE SYSTEM.

BERTRAND SAYS IT IS A SECURE TRUSTWORTHY SYSTEM THAT BUILDS ON THE FOUNDATION OF OTHER SERVICES LIKE FACEBOOK AND TWITTER.
