Bedfordshire residents can stay in touch with local police and other agencies as Bedfordshire Police invests to revamp community messaging system.
Now named Beds Connected, the refreshed free platform has exciting new features that will allow members of the public to stay up to date with what is happening in their local area.
People can sign up on the Beds Connected website to receive alerts and messages from the police including latest news, appeals, local crime information, and prevention advice direct to their email address.
Registration is completely free and not only allows individuals to receive messages according to their chosen topic preferences, but also provides the option to feedback information to local policing teams to help them better look after each neighbourhood.
Those who have previously registered to use ‘BedsAlert’ will be automatically kept on the mailing list for Beds Connected without needing to sign up again.
Chief Inspector Jim Goldsmith, who heads up the central local community policing team, said: “We know that Bedfordshire’s residents want and deserve to be more aware of the issues and crimes that their police force are tackling near to where they live.
“We have invested in Beds Connected to allow just that, and the opportunities for subscribers are endless! The platform allows users to participate in surveys, provide feedback and receive alerts of local scams or risks that they need to be aware of.”
Sign up via "Bedsconnected" to start receiving alerts and updates from the most trusted organisations.
