Neighborhood Crime Watch: Spot Suspicious Activity and Share with Your Community
Neighborhood Crime Watch is an Android app developed by Appestry that allows users to quickly take pictures, pinpoint the location of suspicious activity, and share the details with their neighbors and law enforcement. While it is important to note that this app is not intended for emergency purposes and users should call 911 or their local police in case of an emergency, it provides a convenient way to document and report suspicious incidents.
The app offers several key features to aid in this process. Users can easily shoot pictures using their device's camera and review them within the app. The app also utilizes GPS, cellular, or Wi-Fi networks to automatically spot the location of the activity. Alternatively, users can manually spot the location on a map. Multiple pictures can be attached to a report using thumbnails, and users can enter details about the activity, persons involved, and vehicles. The reports can then be shared via email, SMS, or other online options, with the location sent as a Google Maps link.
It is important to note that the ad-supported version of Neighborhood Crime Watch does not save the activity details. However, users can upgrade to the NCW Pro version to save and look up past activities. Overall, Neighborhood Crime Watch provides a useful tool for community members to collaborate and stay informed about suspicious activity in their area.
