Community Text Alert Scheme

Post date: Jan 30, 2014 9:22:27 PM

Four Roads/Mount Talbot Community Alert group agreed at a recent meeting to set up a Community Text Alert scheme in the area. With rising rural crime rates and the closure of rural Garda stations the scheme offers residents in the community an opportunity to help in crime prevention by providing an immediate and cost effective communication with An Garda Siochana. This scheme is operating effectively in other rural areas. A further meeting will be held on Monday 3rd February at 8:30 pm in Tisrara Community Centre. Four Roads/Mount Talbot Community Alert group request all householders and organisations in the area to send at least one representative to this important meeting. Details of how the scheme operates will be explained and decisions taken on the steps required to implement the scheme.
