Nixle's free services allow governmental agencies to communicate with registered members of the public via text, e-mail, and/or internet posts.

"This is a very exciting time for Nixle as well as our government customers and citizen subscribers," stated Eric Liu, Nixle CEO. "Our new Nixle Connect feature set offers so many advantages that our competitors do not. Our user numbers are up across the board, surpassing several key milestones, and our projections point to near-100% law enforcement penetration in the near future. We are extremely excited about what we have accomplished and where we are headed."
Liu added that now more than 4,600 government agencies have adopted Nixle for their means of real-time communications with constituents, and over 600,000 citizens have signed up to take advantage of the services. Liu further backed up his comments by providing year-to-year usage through July 2011. They show that agencies created a total of:
- over 17-million SMS text messages were sent during the 12-month period for an average of 1.4 million SMSs a month
- over 43.8-million e-mails were sent by government agency users, over 3.6 million a month
- 72,782 Nixle site messages or 6,065 per month.
