In light of the recent wild land fire near the Viewpoint Development in Prescott Valley, and instances of miscommunication, Chief of Police Bryan Jarrell encourages all citizens to sign up for Nixle and CodeRED alert systems. The Prescott Valley Police Department regularly uses Nixle and CodeRED during a critical incident and / or emergency situation that may impact residents inside our town limits, such as the fire near Viewpoint.
Nixle and CodeRED are Community Information Services dedicated to helping you stay connected to the information that matters most to you, depending on your physical location.

Your Nixle and CodeRED account can be customized so you receive the information that matters most to you.
