/24-7PressRelease/ - FORT WORTH, TX, February 26, 2006 - Shreveport Police Department has joined the CrimeWeb Network - the leader in crime and public safety alerts. CrimeWeb, which is used by law enforcement agencies nationwide, is a fast way to provide citizens, news media and organizations information about crime, missing persons, community events and other police-related matters.
For citizens to take advantage of the program, they must register on-line to receive free notifications on major crimes and police-sponsored events. They do that by logging onto http://www.CrimeWeb.net.
Whenever a major crime occurs or a child goes missing in their area, they will be alerted to the situation. They also can receive direct information about matters of homeland security, or even community crime notifications.
SPD has worked hard to keep open the lines of communication between itself and citizens, and this is another great tool that can be used to enhance the relationship, said Chief Campbell. "CrimeWeb is an easy way for people to get involved and be informed.
Now, with the click of a button, people can help solve and prevent crime," Chief Campbell said.
Subscribers will receive information based on CrimeWeb's zip code system that may affect them in their community. For example, a subscriber could register to receive an email alert letting them know about a robbery in their neighborhood. Or, the subscriber could request to receive a text alert on their cell phone or pager informing them that their local police department is offering a free home security guide.
Conceptualized by a law enforcement official, Crime Web is a unique web-based clearinghouse designed to improve the efficient exchange of information from police departments to news media and citizens. The site is designed to empower safety across America. On the CrimeWeb site, police departments may disseminate the following information to subscribers:
*Missing Child Alerts
*Missing Adult Alerts
*Major Crime Alerts
*Homeland Security Alerts
*School Information Alerts
*Community Information Alerts
