The Kyle Police Department has joined the social networking age to alert Kyle residents and drivers about public safety related issues, missing or lost children, and/or traffic problems as a means to

provide enhanced citizen services and supplement its ongoing partnership effort with the community.

Residents and those driving to and from Kyle can sign up at www.nixle.com for e-mail alerts, text messages or both. While participation in the program is free and e-mail alerts are of no cost, citizens should check with their cell phone carrier regarding any messaging rates that may apply.

Nixle is a community information service that operates similar to Twitter, and is offered at no-charge to law enforcement, government agencies and the public. The service provides for the instantaneous messages to be sent out to anyone who signs up – or “follows” – the sender.
