The Minnesota Crime Alert Network enables any law enforcement officer in the state to send a crime alert to any selected group of businesses or organizations. The alerts go instantly to dozens, hundreds or even thousands of pre-registered members of the network in targeted locations or to specific types of network members such as general retailers, jewelers, liquor stores or schools, as well as to particular geographic areas.
Any business in Minnesota can become a network member. After 90 days, an annual membership costs $12.
