Since the Christian County Sheriff’s Office partnered with Nextdoor.com several new neighborhood networks have formed inside the county. There has also been a growth rate of fifty households or more a week. The image shows the areas of growth in the county. There are currently sixteen neighborhoods in the pilot program. Several neighborhoods have already formed and completed the pilot program in less than a month. The program grows by neighbors inviting other neighbors in their area.

Deputies on patrol are actively engaging with residents about crimes in their specific neighborhoods. The residents have provided tips to the Sheriff’s Office that helped further active criminal investigations. The Sheriff’s Office has already used Nextdoor to send an urgent post about a school lock down.
