Frisco PD Launches Nextdoor, the Private Social Network for Neighborhoods, to Facilitate Virtual Neighborhood Watch
Posted on May 8th, 2013


Neighborhoods establish and self-manage their own Nextdoor website. Information shared on Nex
tdoor is only visible to verified members. The Frisco Police Department will be able to post important information, such as crime updates to Nextdoor sites within the city. The police department will not be able to access the resident’s websites, contact information, or content.
 
“We are encouraging all residents to get involved in their neighborhoods” said Frisco Police Chief John Bruce.  “It takes everyone working together to stay informed and stay vigilant against crime in Frisco.”

Nextdoor was specifically designed to make neighbors feel comfortable sharing information with one another in order to build stronger communities. All members must verify that they live within the neighborhood.  Information shared on Nextdoor is password protected and cannot be accessed by those outside the neighborhood or found on internet search engines. In addition, Nextdoor never shares personal information with any third parties.

Those interested in joining their neighborhood’s Nextdoor website can visit www.nextdoor.com and enter their address. If Nextdoor is available in their area, they can immediately sign up. If a Nextdoor website has not yet been established for their area, active and engaged neighbors are invited to apply to bring Nextdoor to their neighborhood.
 
If you have questions about your Nextdoor website you can come to the Frisco Neighborhood
Watch general meeting on June 24th at 7pm at the Frisco Police Department or help.nextdoor.com.
