New Police alerts system

If you would like to be kept up to date with crimes and incident in your area you can sign up to the Devon & Cornwall Police alerts system.

This is a free community messaging system which informs members of the public about crimes and incidents affecting their local area. Recorded messages are sent by telephone (landline only), email or text message to individuals or groups/ businesses. It is a two-way messaging system which helps the Police to connect with communities; it tells people what is happening in their area and allows them to respond directly with any information.

The system is designed to allow people who register to choose the type of information they would like to receive concerning crime and anti-social behaviour, witness appeals, crime prevention, community events and local good news.

To sign up visit alerts.dc.police.uk or complete the registration form which is available on the Force website, where you can also find more information -
