The Goffstown Police Department launch i-Neighbors initiative

Capt. Browne — Mon, 26 Mar 2012 16:09:25 +0000

The Goffstown Police Department continues to work on promoting safe neighborhoods and getting pertinent information out to members of the community. For months now, officers have been patrolling specific neighborhoods within their sector, in order to better acquaint the officers with the people living there and to allow citizens to get to know the officer and the department in a more personable way.

A new tool to assist officers in getting information out to their neighborhoods is called i-Neighbors. I-Neighbors is a social networking service that connects residents of geographic neighborhoods. The goal of this site is to help individuals and their communities organize, share information, and work together to address local problems. i-Neighbors was first launched nationwide in 2004. The site now serves thousands of neighborhoods across the United States and Canada.

The Goffstown Police Department has taken the initiative to create an i-Neighbors account for their target neighborhoods. The idea behind the program is to get people to join the program, which will allow officers to send out timely information regarding any police issues that may be going on in certain neighborhoods, such as burglaries, thefts from vehicles, or any other announcements that need to be made to the community. The i-Neighbors initiative is not designed to allow persons to make complaints to the police department for issues that are going on.

For the past week, officers have started to pass out information to their target neighborhoods to get people to join the network and to share information with their neighbors. For additional information about the i-Neighbors program, please go to the i-Neighbors website at www.i-neighbors.org or call Sergeant Keith Chauvette at the Goffstown Police Department at 603-497-4858.
