Keeping Up with the EBPD

The East Brunswick Police Department will now use the Nixle Community Information Service to send important, valuable community information directly to residents.

Nixle will allow the department to create and publish messages to be delivered to subscribed residents instantly via cell phone text message and/or email. Notifications can also be accessed online at Nixle’s web site at www.nixle.com.

Messages may include road closures, traffic accidents, weather advisories, emergency messages, press releases as well as other relevant safety and community event information.

The service is secure, reliable and easy to use for our group.

The messages can be sent specifically to residents registered within a ¼-mile radius, giving them the opportunity to receive trustworthy information relevant only to their neighborhood. Residents decide from which local agencies they want to receive information. Subscribers can also choose the way in which alerts are received, whether it is by email, text message, or over the web.

Nixle builds on the foundations of other public-to-public communication services, such as Twitter, Facebook, and MySpace, but adds a key component: security. When citizens receive information from our agency via Nixle, they know it can be trusted.

East Brunswick residents and those in neighboring communities can immediately begin receiving pertinent information via text message, email, and web by registering at www.nixle.com.   

We are very excited to have you experience it for yourself.
