Core capabilities
- Continuous headlines and updates so you can monitor unfolding stories in real time

Why people use it
The app is particularly useful for anyone who wants immediate awareness of crime-related events—residents tracking nearby incidents, journalists following tips, or researchers compiling recent case information. Because alerts arrive promptly and the feed is regularly refreshed, it’s handy for staying informed about significant occurrences both locally and nationally.
