The community serves with the police, and the police serve with the community.

Why Your Police Department
Should Use CRIMEWATCH

CRIMEWATCH empowers communities by fostering greater awareness, transparency, and accountability in public safety.

Here’s why you’ll want your local police department to be a part of this vital network:

Stay Informed with Trusted, Accurate Information

In a world where social media can blur the lines between facts and rumors, CRIMEWATCH delivers verified, timely updates straight from your local police department. Whether it's crime alerts, updates on investigations, or community events, you can rely on CRIMEWATCH to be your source of truth—free from the noise, fake news, and sensationalism. Stay connected with what truly matters to your safety and well-being.

Transparency into Day-to-Day Operations

CRIMEWATCH gives your police department the tools to be more transparent by providing visibility into their day-to-day activities. From sharing policies and guidelines to offering insights into key performance metrics, CRIMEWATCH allows police leaders to make critical data, like use-of-force incidents and demographic metrics, available to the public. This helps foster trust and ensures the community is informed about how law enforcement serves them.

Encouraging Accountability

CRIMEWATCH makes it harder for individuals with criminal intent to act without consequences. It highlights key information that holds individuals accountable for their actions while helping keep your family and community safe from predatory behavior.

Protecting Your Right to Be Forgotten

At CRIMEWATCH, we believe in safeguarding the privacy of law-abiding citizens. If your interaction with law enforcement was a one-time, non-criminal incident, CRIMEWATCH supports your right to move on without it defining your future. Police departments using CRIMEWATCH ensure your right to be forgotten with specific technology built to edit and remove information from social media and search.

By adopting CRIMEWATCH, your police department becomes a more transparent, accountable, and community-focused organization, working alongside you to create a safer environment for everyone.
