Question: How can Euclid Residents Connect Online with the Euclid Police Department?

Answer from Community Policing Unit: Twenty-one neighborhoods in Euclid are already using Nextdoor (www.nextdoor.com), the first private social network for neighborhoods, and now the Euclid Police Department has adopted the platform to communicate directly with residents. This new partnership will improve citywide and neighbor-to-neighbor communications and help all of us build safer communities across the city. 

On Nextdoor neighbors can get to know one another and exchange local advice and recommendations. Euclid residents will also be able to work with the Police Department to improve safety and strengthen virtual neighborhood watch efforts. 

Tens of thousands of neighbors across the country are already using Nextdoor to:

• Find trustworthy local resources, such as babysitters, plumbers, and dentists

• Communicate with neighbors and police about suspicious activity and safety concerns

• Organize neighborhood events, such as garage sales and block parties

• Get assistance in finding lost pets and missing packages

• Sell or give away items, like an old kitchen table or bike 

Nextdoor was specifically designed to make neighbors feel comfortable sharing information with one another. All members must verify that they live within the neighborhood.  Information shared on Nextdoor is password-protected and cannot be accessed by those outside the neighborhood or found on search engines. 

Nextdoor is a tool for the Euclid Police Department to effectively share information on crime prevention, safety, and police events.  Please be assured that your website remains private. Police staff will not be able to see any of the content on your neighborhood website except for the direct replies to EPD posts. 

Please be aware that Nextdoor is not the appropriate way to request emergency services.  For an emergency please call 911.  For other police services, or to report criminal or suspicious activity, please call Euclid Police at 216-731-1234.  

Please join your neighbors and the Euclid Police Department in building a stronger, safer Euclid today at www.nextdoor.com.
