Features & Capabilities

CRIMEWATCH opens communication channels between law enforcement agencies and the communities they serve.

If your local police department is NOT listed, please let them know about CRIMEWATCH, or email support@crimewatch.net and we will contact them about joining. All crime data comes directly from participating agencies, so if an agency is NOT on CRIMEWATCH, unfortunately no crime data will be available.

Use this app to browse crime related information from participating agencies. Information such as arrests, fugitives, incidents and other news comes directly from participating local/county/state agencies. Users can anonymously contact participating agencies, or leave contact information. CRIMEWATCH partners with law enforcement and effectively routes intelligence where it needs to go.

CRIME INFO FROM PARTICIPATING AGENCIES • Dashboards: Displays the top content near your current location, if any • Directory: Find the participating police departments nearest to you • Maps: Browse and drill down into crime information from participating agencies

User Reviews

Reviewers praise the concept and local usefulness where departments participate, but highlight limited geographic coverage, delayed or inaccurate updates, confusing navigation after upgrades, onboarding problems, and privacy/ethical concerns. LE users find it valuable; widespread adoption hinges on broader coverage, reliable updates, and improved UX.

Pros

Promising community safety concept that works where departments have joined.
Useful for law enforcement/public information work (PIO) and facilitates community input.
Practical tool for ordinary citizens to locate wanted individuals and report sightings.
Growing network makes the app more relevant as more departments join.

Cons

Geographic coverage is limited (PA-focused with small search radius) and other cities are not shown.
Updates are not timely and information can be outdated or inconsistent (last posts days old).
Navigation and user interface become confusing after updates; back button and switching between cities are problematic.
Onboarding/sign-up issues and privacy concerns related to location data and verification delays.
Content raises privacy/ethical concerns about potential slander or presumption of guilt in public posts.

Need more departments joining this app. It works great where I live!

COMPLETELY WORTHLESS!!

This app used to be amazing and was usually updated within a couple hours or at more 24 hours. On my feed the last shown was 6 days ago. What’s the point if we don’t have accurate information in a timely manner?
