Wood County Sheriff’s Office Launches Nixle Municipal Wire System (05/18/2009)
Real-Time notifications for Subscsribers.
Bowling Green, OH - The Wood County Sheriff’s Office has launched a new community information service designed to deliver important and timely notifications by web, e-mail and text message. This service, created by Nixle, LLC, is the first certified and secure communication platform that allows local law enforcement agencies to connect with residents in their communities in the most trusted and geographically-targeted way. Nixle uses the same model as other popular social applications, but adds the security that is critical to ensure information received by users is trusted and authentic.
“Our agency has experienced a great deal of positive feedback from our existing Cyber Block Watch program and we wanted to expand to an even more feature rich and secure messaging service,” said Sheriff Wasylyshyn. Nixle, a free service, is unique in that information can be disseminated based on a subscriber’s geographical location so that the most relevant messages reach those who have signed up for the service.
Subscribers to Nixle are able to choose how they wish to receive the information they want, whether it is over a cell phone by text message (standard text messages apply to the subscriber), by email, or over the web. The registration process is free, simple and trusted.
