I found this site that gives you updates on crime traffic and other community events via text to your phone or email. It allows followers to keep with events in their area. By zip code or city is there a way to work it into a blog here is the site http://www.nixle.com.  Here is what I copied and from the tarzana woodland hills chamber site:  LAPD now offers a free service that allows L.A. residents to sign up to receive messages directly from the Police on crime, traffic, missing persons, emergencies and other public safety information directly to their phones or email inboxes.

Residents can sign up online to receive the updates by text message to their phones, or by email, or both. They can sign up for bulletins based on ZIP code and can sign up for multiple locations so they can keep up to date on traffic, crime and emergencies at their home, workplace, or homes of relatives.
