The Massachusetts State Police and Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency have joined Nextdoor, which has members in over 2,400 neighborhoods throughout the state.
The partnership makes Massachusetts the first state in the country to have both its state police and emergency management agency on Nextdoor.
