Text Box: EMERGENCY ALERTING SYSTEM
The Lockport Police Department would like to inform you of a service available to you that would aid in keeping you informed of existing emergencies or threat of potential danger. Will County 9-1-1 and Will County Emergency Management Agency, along with several Industries in Will County; have teamed up to provide an enhanced emergency alert system for your neighborhood.
The SmartMsg interoperability platform (Reverse 911/Codespear Citizen Alerting) is used to notify the public that an emergency exists in your neighborhood (regardless if you are home) through email, pagers, cell phone text messages, or a voice message on your home phone.
This emergency alerting system is a supplemental warning system, backing up effective methods already in place such as sirens and Emergency Broadcast System/Emergency Alert System (EBS/EAS).
In the unlikely event of an emergency affecting your neighborhood, you may first hear sirens. In some cases, you won't hear a siren, but in either event you may receive a computerized telephone call or text message, page, or email from local emergency officials. The message will be about the emergency and what actions you should take (including shelter-in-place or evacuate).
We encourage you to take steps to ensure that your phone/cell phone number is listed in the database of numbers that would receive these notifications. If you wish to sign up for this service please go to:
