Citizen

Citizen is a digital safety network that leverages real-time information on crimes to increase the public’s awareness of safety issues. The app provides real-time 911 alerts and allows users to contribute toward resolving situations by broadcasting live videos and sharing relevant updates. This kind of crowdsourced crime reporting is intended to foster transparency by filling the gap left by traditional news outlets and providing users with immediate, accurate information about safety issues in their surroundings. In a world where crime is a persistent problem, Citizen seeks to offer a timely, crowd-sourced, approach to safety by integrating technology and community involvement.
