If you go to the town of Fairfield’s CodeRED Community Notification Enrollment page (http://www.fairfieldct.org/codered) it clearly states” The Town of Fairfield has contracted with Emergency Communications Network (ECN) to license a new and improved high-speed notification system, CodeRED, which replaces Reverse 911 and provides Fairfield officials with the ability to quickly deliver phone messages to targeted areas or to the entire Town in emergency situations”.
Yesterday, I received on my personal phone and business phone a “Attention! Please hold for an important message” and then it proceeded to inform me of repaving on certain streets. I also received texts on both phones from the EMERGENCY Communications Network from the same network.
With yesterday’s messages not being an emergency, I reached out to First Selectman Mike Tetreau who replied: “We use Code Red for two reasons: 1. Major Emergency Situations and 2. Major Convenience issues. Major Emergency situations like Storms are generally townwide calls. We do use Code Red to also target a neighborhood when we are paving a street so residents know that their schedule may be interrupted by road closures or to reschedule contractors coming to their home. These calls only go to a small targeted area. Based on feedback, residents have been very appreciative of these communication efforts”.
Do you think using the Emergency Communications Network for non-emergency calls the right thing to do or is the first selectman correct in using it for “major convenience” issues?
#Fairfield CT–On 05/01/2017 at 06:13am, the Fairfield Police were alerted by an anonymous complaint that a juvenile student posted a potential threat on the social media application “Snap-Chat”. The anonymous complaint indicated that a student posted a digital picture of an assault-type rifle with overwritten text “Don’t come to school tomorrow.”
The investigation revealed that there were two juveniles involved, of which both were located at their respective homes in Fairfield as they were leaving for school. It was also determined that the message was posted as a private joke. The photo was determined to be that of an airsoft rifle located in the home of the juvenile who posted the “Snap-Chat.” Anyone with information regarding this investigation is asked to call the Fairfield Police Department School Safety Unit at (203)255-8342, or Text-A- Tip to CRIMES (274637)
