Full Notification

The Sheriff’s Office is constantly looking at ways to expand our Community Oriented Policing. As of January 11th, 2012, Calaveras County Sheriff will now be utilizing the NIXLE community notification service. This web-based service, provided by Nixle LLC, is a geographic-based public notification system available free of charge to residents of Calaveras County. You are invited to register by going to www.nixle.com. Nixle sends information to subscribers via e-mail and cell phone text messages. There are three categories of messages that can be sent. They are: Alert, Advisory, and Community. Calaveras Sheriff plans to utilize Nixle to provide citizens with public safety information as well as official Sheriff’s Department community relations type news, information and activities. Once registered, you will receive e-mail alerts and text messages from authenticated agencies like ours who serve your community. From within your Nixle account, you always have the option to define what notifications you receive and from whom. You may opt out of receiving messages from any participating agency.

The Calaveras County Sheriff’s Office intends for Nixle to be an additional source of information for residents of Calaveras County. While we intend for Nixle to be helpful during times of important incidents, Nixle does not take the place of official emergency notifications conducted through "Reverse 911®" For situations where the public is being asked to take immediate action to ensure their safety (evacuations, shelter-in-place, imminent threat to life or property, disaster notifications, etc.), Reverse 911® or EAS (emergency alert system) will be used as the primary means of community emergency notifications. In these situations, Nixle Alert messages are only used to supplement Reverse 911® or other notifications.
