Verona Residents Can Sign Up For Police Alerts

Verona residents can now receive email alerts on important information in town by joining the Verona Police Department's new email list.

Just enter your email address in the white box in the center of the Verona Police Department's website. And click on the blue button labeled, "Register Now!"

The service is free, said Capt. Mitchell Stern of the police department. Also, any emails collected will "be used for police information, and will never be sold, rented or loaned to anyone," he said in a press release.

Stern said during a phone interview that the department is slowly rolling out the new feature, which was officially launched on June 25. They first alerted the public via the department's Facebook page.

So far, approximately 50 people have signed up and counting, Stern said.

"The goal is to notify people on important information as quickly as possible," Stern said.
