JOIN US ON SOCIAL MEDIA!

It is important to keep in mind that our social media is not constantly monitored but we do read all comments and messages as soon as we can. Any incidents, concerns or requests for assistance should be reported by dialing 732-238-1000 for non-emergencies or 9-1-1 in the event of an emergency. Our dispatchers on duty will be more than happy to assist you.

The South River Police Department has been active on Facebook since 2012 posting event photos, department news, special events information, crime alerts, traffic updates, road closures and much more. After proving to be an effective means of communication with our residents during Superstorm Sandy and receiving positive feedback from residents, other social media platforms were gradually added.

Sharing information with our residents and keeping them informed is one of our department’s priorities. Our expansion into additional social media platforms has given our community multiple options to stay updated from and interact with our department. You can receive updates and information from the South River Police Department via the following:

Facebook: Our original social media platform remains the most active one we use. Information and content we share on all of our other platforms is also posted here, making this the one stop shop for everything.

Instagram: One of our newer platforms which features select pictures from our department’s day to day adventures, antics and happenings as well as occasional safety graphics and reminders.

X (formerly Twitter): NIXLE alerts and Instagram photos are duplicated here along with the occasional short informational post.

Youtube: Occasionally, videos that are too long for our other social media platforms are posted here.

NIXLE Text & Email Alerts: NIXLE is a method to receive text message and email alerts sent from our department. These alerts are sent for important information such as road closures, utility disruptions, school closures, crime alerts, special events, weather alerts and more. On average, between 5 and 10 alerts per month are sent from our department. 

As of 6/2/2020, non-urgent advisory notifications (special events, community alerts, pre-planned roadwork or utility work, etc) will be delivered via email only if you have an email address on file. If you do not have an email address on file, you will continue to receive these advisory notifications via text message. Urgent alert notifications (weather alerts, unplanned road closures, utility outages, etc.) will continue to be delivered via both text message and email.

You can view the most recent NIXLE activity from our department here. Visit www.nixle.com or use the widget at the bottom of our homepage to sign up and customize your alerts. 

NOTE: When signing up for NIXLE notifications for a specific community, you are automatically enrolled to receive notifications from surrounding communities as well. By creating a user account at www.nixle.com you can customize alert types and opt in for or out of alerts from specific communities.

NIXLE Phone Call Alerts: NIXLE emergency phone notifications are used occasionally for extreme circumstances and urgent notifications. They are NOT a replacement for NIXLE text and email notifications.  You can enroll your cell phone or landline telephone number by following the same sign up methods for NIXLE text & email alerts mentioned above.
