Staying Informed

Staying informed about our Community

At the Business Exchange meeting Sausalito Police Chief, John Rohrbacher brought us up to date with the ongoing efforts to keep Sausalito citizens and businesses safe. Two suggested website registries were suggested for up to date information.

Nixle.com

In an attempt to keep the citizens and business community of Sausalito as informed as possible regarding law enforcement activities as well as natural disasters and other emergencies, the Sausalito Police Department and the Disaster Preparedness-Emergency Operations Program has entered an agreement with Nixle.com. Nixle is a service that will allow individuals to receive trusted, up-to-date information regarding the City of Sausalito.
