Village Switches Community Alert System, Registration Required

TINLEY PARK, IL — The Village of Tinley Park has switched its community notification system, and residents will need to register for the new one, officials said.

Users can customize the notifications they receive and choose to have information delivered to their preferred devices, including cell phone, SMS, home landline, email, and more.
