Does the Town have my telephone number, or do I have to sign up to receive CodeRED emergency calls?

The CodeRED Database does use information received from public databases including regional phone books. Cellphones and Unlisted numbers may not be available. The home page of the Tewksbury Police Department website, has a link to a CodeRED registration form you can fill out online. This is the quickest way to sign up because the information you supply will immediately update Tewksbury's CodeRED telephone number database. If you do not have access to the internet at home, please consider using a computer at the Tewksbury Library or ask a friend or family member for assistance. Online registration is the most efficient, accurate and private way to supply your information.

To register online you might first have to adjust your internet browser to enable cookies, otherwise you may receive an error message. If you can not register online, you can call the Tewksbury Police Department at 978-851-7373, ext. 211. It is our intention and hope that every residence and commercial facility in our community will be included in the notification database.
