In May 2013, the Cedar Hill Police Department partnered with Nextdoor.com to launch a social media forum for neighborhoods. We use Nextdoor to keep your family informed of crime alerts, neighborhood watch meetings and information specific to your neighborhood. Click here to visit the Nextdoor.com website. Sign up for free and get connected to your neighbors today!
In July 2014 we launched our Facebook page as a way to help us communicate with the growing part of our community who interact on social media. Using Facebook, we're able to show our community who we are, what we do, and give a 'behind the scenes' view of what policing with our community is all about. Join the conversation today!
In September 2014 we went live on Twitter. Twitter allows us to get information out to our community which may have an immediate effect on travel, roadway, weather, or other events in and around Cedar Hill. Follow us today @CedarHillPolice
In 2015 we started using Instagram as another way to connect with our community. Follow us today @CedarHillPolice
Be sure to check out our in-house produced videos on our YouTube Channel!
*Our social media platforms are not monitored 24hrs a day so please don't use them to report issues requiring police assistance. If you need us but do not have an emergency, please call 972.223.6111.
