Hey, Roswell residents, are you tired of getting no value tweets from all the twits out there? Here is a new service that only alters you when something important is happening!
It's called NIXLE and it sends messages to people to alert them about things happening in the city. NIXLE allows city officials to send text messages and emails out to people to keep them up to date on certain things going on in the community. NIXLE, will alert residents to emergency weather events, road closings, public safety advisories, natural and man made disasters through email and text messaging. Roswell will eventually provide general City information too. It's not a law enforcement system, but law enforcement is one of the primary information providers that provide many of us with the most important information that we need to operate our lives on a daily basis, whether it's a road closure, to a danger in a neighborhood, to a local event that the police are monitoring, and they need to put immediate information out to residents.
Most people don't know, including police officers, is that the systems they use every day in their police cars go through the Nlets network. That is what allows the states to communicate with each other. Nlets is what connects local, state, county and federal law enforcement and Interpol is a part of that. The only way to see if there's a warrant out is through Nlets. Nixle are housed at the Nlets public safety network. So it's safe and SECURE.
The best part is that it is available free of charge from the city of Roswell. Just go to www.roswellgov.com. The button to sign up for the service is located on the right hand side of the City’s homepage. You will need to create an account with a user name and password, enter an email address and/or cell phone number where you would like to receive the messages, and then enter your address. Click the “Sign Me Up” button. Text messaging charges may apply.
