The Elk Grove Police Department announced that it is partnering with Nextdoor, a free and private social network for neighborhoods, in an effort to better communicate with city residents.
Through the network, the Police Department will be able to communicate online with Elk Grove neighborhoods, and work with residents to increase safety and strengthen virtual neighborhood watch efforts, according to a department news release.
With Nextdoor, Elk Grove residents can create private neighborhood websites to share information about neighborhood public safety issues, community events and activities, local services and lost pets.
