The Pinecrest Police
Department has recently partnered with Nixle which is a service that allows
public safety agencies to send out important alerts via text message or
e-mail. If you are interested in
receiving these text or email alerts, please sign-up at nixle.com. On the Nixle page, please use
"Pinecrest" or "33156" to receive the alerts sent out by
the Pinecrest Police Department. These alerts can range from instant
information regarding a public safety issue in the Village to occasional crime
prevention tips distributed by our Crime Prevention Unit.

This is another great
program taking advantage of the new technology.
I have promoted the Miami-Dade alerts for mobile devices over the years
(such as in Have your plan ready.Hurricane season starts June 1) – I hope that you have subscribed. Miami-Dade Alerts is a wireless emergency
alerting system. Register for this free
service and receive local weather and hurricane alerts to your computer or cell
phone. It works and it is on your phone
as the information update is released, you do not have to actively look up the current
situation, it comes to you.
Miami-Dade County sends out
subscriber alerts on many different items, I even signed up for reminder alerts
reminders on recycling pickup dates the evening before. See links below.
Why rely on the old
fashioned paper calendars or guesswork as to whether the service is coming.
Great work Miami-Dade.
Outstanding effort Pinecrest. I look forward to other local governments like
Palmetto Bay following your lead Pinecrest.

Nixle advertises that it
hosts text updates for over 5,000 local agencies. I went to the site and added my zip code,
33157 and received the following message: There are no active notifications
from your local agencies. Your local agencies have not yet activated their
Nixle account. Register now and we will alert you by email when this location
becomes available. More »
Regardless, you can sign up
by CLICKING HERE and we may be
advised when this service becomes available for our area.
