The Cass County Sheriff’s Office is once again using the Nixle service to broadcast its messages to the public via e-mail, text and Twitter.

Nixle is a community information service dedicated to helping the public stay connected to the information that matters most, depending on physical location.

Citizens can stay connected to local law enforcement agencies, schools, community agencies and organizations and important information from other locations throughout the country.

Nixle’s service is built on a secure, reliable and high-speed distribution platform, ensuring recipients get trusted and immediate, geographically relevant information. Information is immediately available via cell phone, by text message, by e-mail and over the Web.

An account can be customized to desired information. Information is immediately available via mobile phone, e-mail and computer. Questions regarding the service can be answered at http://www.nixle.com/faqs.html.
