NEW EMERGENCY NOTIFICATION SYSTEM
Emergency
Management Agencies throughout the South Central Task Force (SCTF), which
includes the counties of Adams, Cumberland, Dauphin, Franklin, Lancaster,
Lebanon, Perry and York, are implementing a new emergency notification
service. This service will allow residents and businesses in the eight
county area to be notified of an emergency situation and important alert
messages in a variety of ways, including on their cell phones, home and work
phones, by text messaging and e-mail. Many
residents and business already have been added to the system from publicly
available White and Yellow pages information. But this listing only
provides a single contact phone number. People with unlisted phone
numbers, or those whose primary phone number is a cell phone or VoIP, must
provide their contact information if they wish to receive these alerts.
This
information is provided by access the South Central Alert self-registration
portal.
People who wish to receive alerts on phone numbers other than the number listed
in the White or Yellow pages, and those people who would like to receive alerts
via email, SMS, TDD/TTY, etc., will also need to register.
Since the South Central Alert service uses mapping to identify the locations
where alerts will be sent, you may also register with up to 5 different
locations for which you would like to receive alerts [the addresses must be
within the 8-county region].
Here
is the link to the South Central Alert homepage: https://www.sctfpa.org/sc-alert.php
Each
county in the region also has a link to this page on the homepage of its
website. You can find the South Central Alert link near the bottom of the
right-reading pane at www.dauphincounty.org.
OPERATION VIGILANT PROTECTOR
Our
agency started a new initiative recently that has been named “Operation
Vigilant Protector.”

Officers will act proactively on conditions that would allow for the
victimization of criminal behavior. Upon observing an unsafe condition,
the Officer will make contact with the property owner and advise them of such.
Examples include the following:
a.

b.
Greenery or shrubs obstructing or blocking windows or doors
c.
Accumulation of mail or newspapers
d.
Valuables left unsecured and in plain view in vehicles

Any condition that would invite the criminal element to victimize a citizen or
business owner.
