On the latest “Neighborhood Watch” show on KHTS AM-1220, sponsored by All American Bail Bonds in Santa Clarita, Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station Deputy and Zone Leader Kevin Duxbury discussed the use of Nixle alerts in the community.
Created in 2007, Nixle provides a platform for open communication and engagement that connects public safety, municipalities, schools and businesses with the communities they serve, according to the website.
“Nixle is an awesome tool,” said KHTS AM-1220’s Kyle Jellings, who co-hosts the show alongside Duxbury. “You can sign up to stay informed about what’s going on in and around the Santa Clarita Valley.”
Residents can learn of crime in the area, as well as community events, by signing up to receive text messages, emails, voice messages, social media alerts and alerts through the Nixle mobile app.
“It’s very easy to get on,” Duxbury said, noting that residents interested in signing up can simply search for “Santa Clarita Nixle” using any online search engine.

“The Nixles will pop up, and you can subscribe to your specific area,” Duxbury continued. “You can subscribe to every area in Santa Clarita if you want, and then you can get all those alerts when they come.”
While this is an option, residents who prefer to only receive alerts in their area can do so also.
“Say you live in Canyon Country,” Jellings added, “and you don’t want stuff in Stevenson Ranch. You can set it up to where you have the option as well.”
Thousands of agencies, fire and police departments, schools and hospitals use Nixle to connect with the communities they serve, according to the website.

Many of these organizations use Nixle during critical situations; for instance, to inform the public of severe weather events, evacuations, safety hazards, security threats and more. Other organizations use Nixle to report facilities problems, employees notifications and IT/Telecom disruptions.
