Dallas Police to Send Crime Alerts Via Email - Technology to Improve Communications with Citizens

On February 04, 2005, the Dallas Police Department became the 17th agency in the Dallas/Fort Worth area to join the CrimeWeb Network, the leading provider of email-based alert notification technology. Dallas Police will use the patented technology to alert local residents and other groups of incidents in the community.

Dallas, TX (PRWEB) June 2, 2005 -- CrimeWeb is an on-line service utilized by public safety agencies nationwide to distribute information about missing children/adults, major crimes, homeland security, and school/community information to subscribers via email. The system sends alerts to citizens via email and text messages via computers, PDAs, cellphones or pagers. CrimeWeb also has the ability to map the location of an incident and features a built-in Spanish translation link.

We are excited about the potential CrimeWeb offers for distributing public safety information to the public in a fast and efficient manner," said Dallas Police Deputy Chief Barbara Smith. Since February, the Dallas Police have sent eleven alerts to thousands of Dallas residents regarding major crimes, missing adults, and community information. CrimeWeb allows citizens to register to receive alerts free of charge by visiting www.crimeweb.net and selecting their areas of interest and the types of alerts they want to receive.

Dallas Police has the ability, through the CrimeWeb Network, to send alerts to specific lists of people, up to 99 miles around a specific zip code or to all registered users located geographically between two zip codes. To register to receive CrimeWeb alerts, free of charge, please visit www.CrimeWeb.Net.
