Nextdoor: Community Social Network

Members from the Board of Directors regularly attend Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC) meetings and have done so for the last couple of years.  Issues affecting our community are addressed in that forum such as crime, suspected criminal activity, graffiti, traffic issues, etc... We bring up any issues that affect our community in those meetings.  Meetings are held each month, on the last Wednesday of every month, and all residents are invited to attend.  Meetings are held at the Miami Dade County Police Kendall Station.

At this month's meeting, Miami Dade County Police introduced a new partnership with a community social network called Nextdoor.  This social network is different than Facebook or Twitter in that it is restricted to residents who live close to one another based on boundaries.  Miami Dade County Police have set up an online presence at Nextdoor to provide county residents with alerts, news of interest to our community, crime trends to be aware of, etc...   That is not all however.  Once you join the network, residents can reach out to their neighbors and post items of interest only members of our community can see.  This is a great way for our 302 members to get to know each other.   

At the request of Miami Dade County Police, we have started to set up a community at Nextdoor.com for our Members to join.  Within the next few days, those members that are on our mailing list will receive an email invitation to join the network.  For those that do not wish to wait for that email, you may join by Clicking Here.  We encourage every member of our community to join Nextdoor.  Next door also has an app available at the Google Play Store as well as the iTunes App Store.
