Orinda Police Department adopts Nextdoor
Nextdoor is the free and private social network for neighborhoods. On Nextdoor, neighbors create websites for their neighborhoods where they can ask questions, get to know one another, exchange local advice, and share important safety information. The partnership with Nextdoor will enable the Orinda Police Department to communicate online with Orinda neighborhoods. Residents and police will be able to work together to improve safety and strengthen neighborhood watch efforts.
With Nextdoor, Orinda residents can join private neighborhood websites to share information, including neighborhood public safety issues, community events and activities, local services, and even lost pets. The Orinda Police Department will be able to post safety tips and crime alerts to Nextdoor websites within the city. To read more on Nextdoor and the Orinda Police Department, click here.
Those interested in joining their neighborhood's Nextdoor website can visit www.nextdoor.com and enter their address. If residents have questions about their Nextdoor website, please visit help.nextdoor.com.
