Editor,
While I understand the need for the LoboAlerts advisory text messages, something really needs to be done about the timeliness of them, or lack thereof.
Golden Pride experienced an armed robbery at 6:24 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 8, and this was first communicated via a LoboAlerts email message at 8 p.m. that evening. However, this email was followed by a text message nearly seven hours later at 2:55 a.m. on Saturday, Dec. 9 — eight and a half hours after the original event occurred.
This is not the first time I have been woken up in the middle of the night to be alerted about an event happening long before. The email alert was timely, why not the text as well?
