The sessions will be held:

Tuesday, February 23, 2010 – 6pm – 7:30pm
Martin Luther King Recreation Center

The Saint Paul Police Department has launched a new Community Information Service designed to deliver important, relevant, and timely information to residents using the latest technology.

This service, Nixle, delivers important neighborhood-level public safety and community event notifications that are instantly sent to you by cell phone text message, email, and the web.  There is NO advertising or Spam.

 

Nixle is free (standard cell provider text message rates apply for those who chose to receive text alerts).

 

The service is simple to use, reliable, and the information Nixle delivers comes directly from the Saint Paul Police Department.

 

We encourage you to register now and learn more.  After you’ve registered, invite your neighbors, co-workers, and friends to join us so they too can get important and timely information about issues that matter to them.

As part of the Saint Paul Police Departments continuing efforts to learn and improve our services, we are asking for community and stakeholder feedback through participation in an anonymous online survey. It is our goal to get as much feedback as possible from our varied and diverse constituents, including: residents, business owners, those work or visit Saint Paul, community organizations, city employees, and members of the police department. 

The information obtained in the survey is extremely useful to our community policing efforts and helps us in establishing departmental priorities and initiatives. 

Thank you in advance for your participation. The survey can be accessed at:
