As we enter September and National Preparedness Month, The Watertown Police Department would like to take a moment encourage the residents of Watertown to sign up for CT Alerts.
The CT ALERT - Emergency notification system (Powered by Everbridge), enables state and local 911 emergency communication centers to provide essential information quickly in a variety of emergency situations, such as severe weather events, fires, or locations with a heavy police presence. You can get these emergency alerts sent to you on any communication device that you use, such as your cell phone, email, text message, or certain hearing-impaired devices, just by providing your information, and keeping it updated. Registering with CT Alerts will allow you to receive both state and Watertown specific notifications.
You may receive a text message notification and/or a phone call from the Watertown Police Department advising you of a critical incident in an effort to protect you before, during and after the event itself with specific information and/or instructions on how to proceed. Please take these notifications seriously, as they are only sent when there is potential jeopardy in public safety. In the event you do receive an emergency notification please refrain from calling the Watertown Police Department to determine the validity of the notification as our dispatchers are likely to become overcome with an influx of curious inquiries; please call only with information relative to the nature of the incident. This announcement is meant educate the community of the validity of the notifications in advance of receiving a notification.
To register for CT Alerts please click on the following link.

A friendly reminder from the Office of the Watertown fire Marshal.
A fire lane is defined as a marked lane near a structure that runs along the street. As every driver knows, parking in a fire lane is prohibited at all times in order to grant fire trucks and emergency vehicles unobstructed access to the structure in the event of an emergency. Don't be that person who blocks emergency personnel from doing their job.
