LAKEPORT, Calif. — The Lakeport Police Department reported that it will stop using the Nixle platform on April 1.

The agency is changing the way it communicates emergency alerts, advisory information and community messages.

It is moving from Nixle to its parent company, Everbridge, which it says has enhanced features that will allow police to send more focused messages and for users to prioritize their contact methods.

Legacy Nixle followers won’t be left out, but they will only be able to get emergency alerts, not advisory and community information.

The Lakeport Police Department encourages community members to register for Everbridge here. Go to the bottom of the page to register and install the Everbridge app from an app store.
