Text Alert AGM

Kilcullen Garda District Community Text Alert Group are holding their AGM on Tuesday 27 January at 8.30pm in The Priory, Kilgowan.

Please consider attending to help the committee. Very little commitment needed otherwise. Do encourage others to call in to sign up to the scheme.

Kilcullen Community Text Alert was founded in the need for the community to help liaison with the local Gardai, with the help of 'Muintir Na Tire', to prevent crime and help to observe and report suspicious activity.

This is done through signing up to the scheme (forms can be obtained from members of the Group). There is a €10 administration fee per household. Your mobile phone number is put on Kilcullen Text Alert database. (All phone numbers are under the Data Protection Act).

If suspicious activity is observed, scheme participants inform the Gardai. On the advice of the Gardai a text will be sent to all persons signed in your area informing everyone of the information.
