CodeRED High-Speed Notification System

 
   

The Rehoboth Police Department has teamed up with the Plymouth County Sheriff’s Department and the Emergency Communications Network to license its CodeRED high-speed notification solution. The CodeRED system provides Plymouth County and Bristol County officials the ability to quickly deliver messages to targeted areas throughout these two counties.

Please take a moment to register yourself so you will receive emergency notifications from the Rehoboth Police Department. *Important* This system is only as good as the telephone number database supporting them. If your phone number is not in the database, you will not be called.

One of the reasons the CodeRED system was selected is it gives individuals and businesses the ability to add their own phone numbers directly into the system’s database; this is an extremely important feature. If residents previously registered with the Plymouth Bristol Emergency Alert System (prior to August 2011), residents are asked to re-register with the new provider, CodeRED.

Required information includes first and last name, street address (physical address, no P.O. boxes), city, state, zip code, and primary phone number, additional phone numbers can be entered as well.

CodeRED allows geographically based delivery, which means street addresses are required to ensure emergency notification calls are received by the proper individuals in a given situation. The system works for cell phones too, but we need to have an associated street address to provide relevant messages.

CodeRED gives those who want to be included an easy and secure method for inputting information. The data collected will only be used for emergency notification purposes.
