Months after James Morales escaped the Wyatt Detention Facility in Central Falls, the city has launched its CodeRed system to alert residents if that ever happens.

City Council President Bob Ferri says the city tried to do something similar several years ago, but for some reason, the plan never went through.

Now, residents can sign up to receive instant alerts notifying them of an escape.

To sign up, you can visit the city’s police or fire departments, or click here.
