Every citizen is encouraged to sign up to receive these messages and begin connecting with the Morristown Bureau of Police. Also, businesses that employ drivers or citizens who commute frequently are encouraged to sign up, so when a person is reported missing, additional eyes are assisting law enforcement in making a quick and safe recovery. Also, road closures will be published in timely fashion so fast changing weather and law enforcement related road closures won't catch drivers off guard.
NOTE: The Morristown Bureau of Police does not advocate nor recommend reading text messages while driving and highly discourages this practice. If you choose to receive Nixle alerts via text message, please read only when safe to do so.
The Morristown Bureau of Police endeavors to send messages only when alerting the public is necessary. If you choose to receive community messages, you may also receive an occasional message regarding important events such as upcoming parades, community events and health fairs. Frivolous messages will not be sent and your email and text boxes will not be filled with spam by these messages. We want you, the public, to know that when you receive a message from us, it is important. Nixle is just one more way the Morristown Bureau of Police is working with the community to keep residents safe and informed.
