Ed. Note: The following is a KHTS Feature story based on a recent radio interview

Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station Deputy and Zone Leader Kevin Duxbury discussed the use of community Nixle alerts on KHTS AM-1220’s latest “Neighborhood Watch” show, sponsored by All American Bail Bonds in Santa Clarita.

Launched in 2007, Nixle provides an open communication and engagement platform that connects public safety, municipalities, schools, businesses and residents with the communities they serve, according to the website.

“Nixle is an awesome tool,” said Kyle Jellings of KHTS AM-1220, who co-hosted the show with Duxbury. “You can sign up to stay informed about what’s going on in and around the Santa Clarita Valley.”

Residents can sign up to receive text messages, emails, voice messages, social media alerts and alerts through the Nixle mobile app regarding crime in the area, as well as community events hosted by the Sheriff’s Station throughout the Santa Clarita Valley.

“It’s very easy to get on,” Duxbury said, explaining that interested residents can simply type the words “Santa Clarita Nixle” into any search engine.

“The Nixles will pop up, and you can subscribe to your specific area,” Duxbury continued. “You can subscribe to every area in Santa Clarita if you want, and then you can get all those alerts when they come.”   

However, residents who only wish to receive alerts in their area can do this as well.

“Say you live in Canyon Country,” Jellings added, “and you don’t want stuff in Stevenson Ranch. You can set it up to where you have the option.”

More than 8,000 agencies, fire and police departments, schools and hospitals rely on Nixle to engage and inform the communities they serve, according to the website.

Many organizations use Nixle to inform the public about critical situations like severe weather events, evacuations, safety hazards and security threats, while businesses use Nixle for reports of facilities problems, employee notifications and IT/Telecom disruptions.
