For Immediate Release		January 4, 2010

Receive Hampton Police Alerts through CitizenObserver Community Notification System

The Hampton Police Division would like to inform everyone of a newly expanded "Project Stay Informed" effort using the CitizenObserver Community Notification System. CitizenObserver is a new community notification and alerting system that is being used throughout the country. CitizenObserver, when paired with Project Stay Informed, makes it possible for us to be able to deliver important neighborhood specific, as well as citywide, information to our citizens in an extremely timely manner. This information is sent out using common communications methods such as cell phone text messages, emails and an online website.

If you are interested in receiving these types of alerts please login on to www.citizenobserver.com and click on the prompt "Sign Up for Alerts". You will then receive all Hampton Police related alerts and press releases. For more information about CitizenObserver please see the attached flyer.

If you have any questions concerning this program please do not hesitate to contact Sgt. John Harrison at 727-6313, Corporal Paula Scheck at 727-6638 or Corporal Allison Quiñones at 727-6608.
