We're improving our emergency messaging system!
Effective immediately, residents will be able to sign up to receive general and emergency notifications through Everbridge. The system will replace the Nixle platform (which is also owned by Everbridge) that is currently utilized.
The new system allows residents enhanced features and customization, allowing them to receive the messages they want and ignore the ones that arent relevant. It also allows residents to choose to receive information via text, email, push notifications, or all of the above!
Unfortunately, everyone will need to register for an Everbridge account, even if you are currently receiving Nixle alerts. The transition is expected to be completed on or about June 1, 2025, but there is no need to worry; all users will still receive Nixle alerts throughout the transition period.
Here's how to get started:
1. Download and Install the Everbridge App directly from the App Store (iOS) or Google Play Store (Android).
2. Register for an Everbridge account. You can find our organization by typing "07036" in the search bar and clicking on the Linden Police Department logo.
3. Login and manage your subscriptions under the "my subscriptions " tab
