Ever click a public-safety headline…only to hit a paywall?

When public-safety news sits behind paywalls, the public often sees only the headline, not the full story. Without context, details are misinterpreted, speculation spreads, and rumors take hold.

Local media remain trusted partners in keeping communities informed, but paywalls limit the reach of their reporting.

CRIMEWATCH ensures full, free access to verified public-safety information, directly from law enforcement. By removing barriers, the public can see the facts, understand the context, and trust the information they receive.

Transparency isn’t optional. It's essential for a safe, informed, and connected community. / Connect. Engage. Solve.

Public opinion surveys are valuable, but they only capture a moment in time.
What if your agency could generate continuous, real-time feedback simply by showing up online where your community already is?

Agencies using CRIMEWATCH and sharing consistently on the platform are seeing online engagement that exceeds their service populations, in some cases by 1,000%+.

Why? Because transparency builds trust, and trust fuels collaboration.

It’s no surprise that CRIMEWATCH agencies are clearing more cases and apprehending more fugitives than agencies relying solely on social media or other tools.
If you want your community to stay informed and stay engaged hashtag they trust for public safety news and information.

The West Whiteland Township Police Department (suburban Philadelphia), led by Chief Lee Benson is a great example of that transparency and trust.

There are plenty of “mobile apps” for law enforcement, but none match the depth, security, and purpose-built design of CRIMEWATCH.

CRIMEWATCH is an affordable, one-stop platform for all online engagement (Web, Mobile, Social), engineered specifically for law enforcement and the responsible sharing and removal of public safety information.

Our unique ControlShare™ Technology allows agencies to automatically sunset content to align with policy, legal requirements and most importantly, a person’s right to be forgotten.

We’ve also introduced our Secure AI Assistant, designed specifically for CRIA-compliant content creation, helping PIOs and agency leaders produce accurate, policy-aligned public safety updates quickly and securely.

It’s time to look not just at how your agency and PIOs are sharing information… but how you’re removing it.

Let’s start that conversation.

In today’s digital world, EVERYONE can be a source.
If you’re not telling the story, the whole story, someone else will.

This is a perfect example: a bystander captures a brief, context-less clip of an arrest. It goes viral in minutes. Social media amplifies it through shares and opaque algorithms, and before you can respond, the narrative is already written for you.

Meanwhile, the truth, the full set of facts and circumstances, gets buried under the noise.

CRIMEWATCH puts your agency and your PIO back in control.
It allows you to tell the complete story immediately and transparently across your website, app, media, and social channels.

Don’t fear transparency.
Don’t react to someone else’s version.

Be proactive. .
