The Collin County Sheriff's Office and Collin County Homeland Security have joined forces with CRIMEWEB.NET to provide an effective method of alerting the citizens of Collin County of significant events. CrimeWeb was developed to provide a uniform, accessible internet site that law enforcement agencies can use to keep the citizens in their communities informed and protected. The CrimeWeb site provides six basic types of information to subscribers:

• Missing Child Alerts
• Missing Adult Alerts
• Major Crime Alerts
• Homeland Security Alerts
• School Alerts
• Community Information Alerts

In the event of a significant incident, an email or a text message will be sent to citizens that have registered with the site and requested to be informed. The service is free. The information regarding each type of alert is entered into the CrimeWeb site clearinghouse by a public safety agency using either a workstation or a mobile computer

The CrimeWeb clearinghouse will allow citizens to provide feedback to the subscribing law enforcement agency if they have information or details regarding an incident that has been entered.

To receive these the alerts and information, log on to www.crimeweb.net
