Latest NewsAurora Police to Offer Online Crime AlertsA Message from Alderman Chris Beykirch Aurora Police hope that the introduction of a web-based community alert system that will inform citizens and businesses of crimes or incidents will help them clear more cases while further solidifying community partnerships. The program, Citizen Observer, will allow Aurora Police to quickly disseminate information on specific criminal cases, wanted fugitives, crime trends, and other alerts to anyone that signs up to receive them. “This new tool has the potential to become a very important part of our community policing initiatives”, said Chief of Police William Powell. “It enhances communication with the people we serve and gives them powerful information to help us prevent and solve crime and continue to improve the quality of life on our streets.” Aurora Mayor Tom Weisner is encouraging citizens and businesses to sign up for the alerts. “The community is the most effective partner to successful law enforcement. I strongly recommend that everyone sign up on Citizen Observer and help our officers by becoming their eyes and ears.” By logging onto the website, www.citizenobserver.com Aurora residents can, in a matter of seconds, sign up for alerts and other information that is disseminated via the department’s Community Policing Division and approved by the Chief of Police. The news can be tailored to specific areas of the city, neighborhood groups, businesses, etc., as needed; and can also contain mug shots, security photos, and web links. The information will also contain contact information so that citizens can forward any helpful tips directly to the authorities, anonymously if they wish. Missing persons, home or business burglary trends, criminals for whom police are searching, and appeals for information on select crimes, are some of the alerts that Aurora Police are planning to post on the website. “Not a single crime has ever been solved without information from the public”, said Chief Powell. “This website literally gives me thousands of more detectives and as a result, puts more criminals behind bars.” In order to sign up for the alerts, log onto the Citizen Observer website, click on the “sign up for alerts” tab, and follow the prompts. The entire process which will take only a few seconds to complete. The initiative is being funded through the East Aurora Weed and Seed grant which is administered by the U.S. Department of Justice. ...... Allied Waste holiday collection schedule
