RAVE Alerts Mass Notification System
The Meeker County Sheriff’s Office has launched RAVE alerts, a new mass notification system designed to deliver timely and reliable emergency information to residents, businesses, and visitors. RAVE Alerts allows public safety officials to quickly send emergency notifications and other critical information via text message, phone call, and email.
Meeker County Sheriff Brian Cruze says residents are encouraged to sign up for RAVE Alerts to receive these important notifications. He says registration takes only a few minutes and can make a significant difference in an emergency.
Sheriff Cruze says you can just text “Meeker” to 78015 from your cell phone to begin the registration process. He says the system will be used for relaying relevant information.
Sheriff Cruze says if you don’t want to register right from your phone, you can go to the Meeker County Sheriff’s Office website and click on Register Now under the RAVE information or click on the shared link on the Meeker County Sheriff’s Office Facebook page. He says if you have questions or are having difficulties, contact Stephanie Johnson at Meeker County Emergency Management at 320-693-5420.
Sheriff Cruze also wants the public to know that a couple of new laws kicked in as of January 1st including one that allows for an order for protection to prevent financial exploitation of a vulnerable adult. He says the “shotgun zone” is also no longer in effect and the Meeker County Board is holding a public hearing about that on February 17th at 6 p.m. in the Board Room of the Government Center at 114 North Holcombe Avenue in Litchfield.
