Public Awareness Post:

Nikita is a college student from Estonia, Europe, doing his summer internship with the Educational Company out of Nashville. Nikita stopped by the PD Office. This summer, he will be in Champaign County driving around in his white Toyota.
He is selling educational materials.
If he knocks on your door, just know that he has an accent. He is very friendly and has been approved for door-to-door sales, and gave his contact to police officers in Mechanicsburg.
If you aren’t interested, he will give you a smile and move on to the next family.

Dear Champaign County Residents,

Following the security breach that affected the county’s previous alerting system, CodeRED, in November, the county has taken steps to ensure a more secure and reliable method of delivering emergency notifications.

We are pleased to introduce our new alerting platform, Everbridge. This system offers enhanced security, dependable performance, and a unified solution for sending emergency messages. Everbridge is trusted by millions of users across more than 200 countries and territories and incorporates over 325 security controls. It delivers real-time alerts and instructions through multiple channels, including SMS, email, desktop notifications, and voice calls.

Please note that all residents must complete a new registration to receive alerts through Everbridge, even if you were previously signed up for CodeRED. Without registration, you will not receive emergency notifications.

We strongly encourage you to follow the registration instructions as soon as possible to stay informed and protected.

🚨 COMMUNITY SAFETY MESSAGE 🚨

We have recently received reports of juveniles participating in the TikTok “Door Kick Challenge,” where individuals run up to homes, kick doors, and flee the area.

We want to encourage parents and guardians to please speak with their children about the serious dangers and consequences associated with this behavior.

While some young people may see this as a harmless prank or social media trend, the reality is that it can create fear and panic for homeowners and neighbors. Residents have no way of knowing whether someone kicking their door is participating in a trend or attempting to force entry into their home. In today’s world, situations like this can escalate very quickly and place everyone involved in danger.

In a neighboring County, there was a reported incident involving juveniles participating in similar behavior who were mistaken for intruders and shot at by a homeowner. Thankfully, that situation did not end in tragedy, but it serves as a very serious reminder of how dangerous these actions can become.

As a department, we care deeply about the kids in our community, and we also care deeply about the safety and peace of mind of our residents. We do not want to see anyone hurt over a social media challenge.

Please understand:
• Damaging or kicking doors may result in criminal charges, including criminal mischief, trespassing, disorderly conduct, inducing panic, or other applicable offenses.
• Parents may be held financially responsible for damages caused by their children.
• Doorbell cameras and neighborhood surveillance systems often assist in identifying those involved.

We are asking families to help us address this before someone gets seriously injured. Our agency will investigate these incidents and charges will be pursued accordingly.

Thank you for helping us keep our community safe.
