a new public safety tool
that allows both the Department and the Public to view Crimes and
Activity within the Community.
We invite you to
log-in to Crimereports.com
to view crime activity in your neighborhood and throughout the
city. You may
also sign up for your own free account and subscribe
to free crime alert emails
which are sent directly to your personal
email account. A
signup link is provided on the
Crimereports.com

The
Crimereports.com

provided as a public service by the Cottage Grove Police Department
and
the City of Cottage Grove.
June 16, 2011 The City of
Cottage Grove and the Cottage Grove Police Department in cooperation
with Lane Council of Governments and
Public Safety Agencies throughout Lane
County have joined the Community Emergency Notification System "CENS"
which is slated to go live
on Friday June 17, 2011.
Members of the Community are invited to
register their cellular or VOIP phones with CENS through Lane
Council of Governments at the following website:

Public Safety Agencies in Lane County are
expanding the capabilities of their Community
Emergency
Notification
System (CENS)
so that public
officials can reach more members of the community with timely alert
and warning information. With CENS
and the "Alert Me" registration,
critical information can be relayed to you about emergency
situations that require your immediate attention.
Until recently, emergency personnel
would use CENS
to call land-line telephones but did not have the capability to
include Wireless (cellular) or
Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) telephone numbers. Now, owners
of VoIP or cellular phone lines can receive the same emergency
message as
those with land-line phones receive, but ONLY IF THEY REGISTER.
CLICK HERE TO REGISTER YOUR CELLULAR OR VoIP
PHONE NUMBERS
CENS allows Public Safety Agencies
in Lane County to identify an affected area and, if necessary,
send a message that describes the situation
and recommend protective actions residents should take. The
CENS
system will automatically call out to all land-line and Alert Me
registered telephone numbers within that geographic area and
deliver the recorded message once a voice is heard. If your
phone line is busy, the system
will attempt to redial the number three times to make contact.
If an answering machine picks up the call, the emergency message
will be left
on the machine.
Searchable City Code is
available online.
