The Westport Police Department tries to get important information to residents as soon as possible. Several emergency notification systems within the Town of Westport provide varying degrees of information for those who want it.

The Nixle Community Information Service allows us to create and publish messages to be delivered to subscribed residents instantly via cell phone text message. Notifications can also be accessed online at Nixle’s website at www.nixle.com. 

This is an "opt-in" system, so you can receive what you want when you want it and nothing more.

The CT Alert Emergency Notification System allows state and local officials to help protect lives and property by providing critical information to residents during emergencies, including dangerous situations.

The state Departments of Public Safety and Emergency Management and Homeland Security manages the CT Alert ENS. The system allows authorized users to quickly send out an emergency alert to residents in any affected geographic area within the state. Depending on the emergency, the alert may be sent to an entire town, part of a town, a group of towns, or a large area of the state. Sign up here for CT Alert.
