DE: State police launch online neighborhood watch program

Dover Post: State police on May 12 announced a pilot program with Nextdoor.com, a free, private and secure social network for neighborhoods. The program will enhance communication between law enforcement and the neighborhoods they serve, DSP spokesman Sgt. Richard Bratz said.

The program is the same as the one Dover police announced in October.

The Delaware State Police is the first state police agency in the country to use Nextdoor.com. Selected troops throughout the state are piloting the social media platform. Neighbors across the state will be able to work together to increase safety and strengthen virtual neighborhood watch programs.
