CodeRED Text to Enroll
 
Signing up for the Cheverly Police Department’s CodeRED alert system has just become easier.
 
Simply text “CheverlyAlerts” to 99411 to be receive the signup link via text message.
 
  1. What is CodeRED?
CodeRED is the department’s mass alert notification system. Once signed up, individuals will automatically receive notifications for emergency alerts. Users can also opt-in to automatic weather alerts (as provided by the National Weather Service) and general notifications throughout the community, if sent out (currently the department utilizes the system for emergency notification only as not to desensitize users to the emergency notifications)
 
  1. How will the system alert me?
Users have the option of being alerted via phone (which includes phone calls, text messages, TDD/TTY device) and/or via email. Additionally, users can download the CodeRED app and received alerts via the app as well.
 
  1. What is the difference between a managed account and guest account/enrollment?
The only difference between the two types of accounts is that a managed account allows a user to modify their settings, on their own, after signing up. Additionally, users can add additional addresses to their account. A managed account does require the user to created and remember a username a password.
 
Changes, including account removal, for guest accounts/enrollment will require the user to contact the police department, or CodeRED directly, to make the requested changes.
