Citizen
Where people protect each other with real-time alerts and live video.
Citizen is a public safety app that delivers real-time push notifications, live video broadcasts, and incident updates about crimes and emergencies near the user's location. It allows community members to record and share live video from incident scenes, helping neighbors, commuters, and even emergency responders stay informed faster. The app is free and positions itself as an independent, community-driven safety network.
The app aggregates verified incident reports and user-submitted live video to send push notifications and real-time updates to nearby users based on their location.
