CrimeRadar: Dispatch Alerts

What CrimeRadar does

CrimeRadar: Dispatch Alerts turns first-responder radio communications into readable public-safety alerts. It covers incidents such as accidents, fires, traffic disruptions and police activity, then presents the information in a form that does not require knowledge of dispatch codes. The app is aimed at people who want local incident information while events are still developing.

How it presents incidents

Alerts are summarized from emergency radio traffic and can be viewed on an interactive map. The map gives each report a geographic context, making it easier to see where recent activity is taking place in relation to places that matter to you. Opening an event can also provide access to the original radio communication for more detail beyond the summary.

Filtering and notifications

CrimeRadar lets you narrow the information it shows by incident type. That can help separate the kinds of calls you care about from less relevant dispatch activity. Notifications bring selected alerts to your attention, while the map and event details provide a way to review what has been reported rather than relying only on a short notification.

Who it suits

This is a fit for users who prefer direct, location-based updates over waiting for incidents to appear in general news coverage. It may also suit anyone who wants both a plain-language explanation and access to the underlying radio traffic. CrimeRadar: Dispatch Alerts is published by Scoopz LLC in the News & Magazines category. It has a 4.7547 rating from 10,772 reviews and more than 1,000,000 installs.
