Punta Gorda Police Join Nextdoor Community

The Punta Gorda Police Department is pleased to announce we are now utilizing Nextdoor to share information on crime prevention, safety, and public events. Nextdoor is a free, private network for communities which over 800 of our city residents are currently participating in. Unlike other social networks, Nextdoor is limited to city residents, requiring members to verify their home address and use their real names.

Utilizing Nextdoor, residents can organize neighborhood watch information in partnership with the police department. “With a constant focus on improving and enhancing community connectivity and communication, this is yet another venue in which we can continue our commitment to informing the public and developing strong relationships with the community we serve,” stated Interim Chief Tom Lewis. “As communication technologies continue to advance, so will our department.”

We are encouraging city residents to join Nextdoor as an additional means of getting important up-to-date information from the police department. We look forward to connecting with you on Nextdoor to build stronger, safer neighborhoods throughout Punta Gorda. Residents of Punta Gorda are encouraged to sign up at or contact Lieutenant Katie Heck at kheck@pgorda.us for more information.
