Secure two‐way communication between public and local law enforcement
Probably the biggest benefit of the Citizen Alert Network is the way it allows two‐way communication between law enforcement and the public.
-
Law enforcement can update citizens on situations that require their attention.

As the public learns about fugitives, missing persons and unsolved cases, it can provide tips directly to the officer and detective assigned to the case.
