Download CrimeRadar: Dispatch Alerts

CrimeRadar: Dispatch Alerts is an app intended to help users follow public-safety activity through dispatch-related alerts and incident information. What it displays can depend on the service area, available public data, and the app’s current coverage, so it should not be treated as a complete record of every emergency or crime. Check the app’s description and coverage details for your location before downloading.

Coverage may vary by city or region, and dispatch information may not be available everywhere. Before relying on the app, check whether your location is supported and review which agencies or incident categories it covers. Even in a supported area, alerts can be delayed, limited, or unavailable because of data-feed interruptions, agency practices, or connectivity problems.

Dispatch alerts can offer useful situational awareness, but they should not be assumed to arrive instantly or contain verified, final details. Information may change as an incident develops, and initial reports can be incomplete or incorrect. Use alerts as general information rather than confirmation, and follow official agency updates when accurate, current details matter.

A dispatch-alert app is not a substitute for emergency services, and receiving an alert does not mean the app can send help or report an incident for you. If someone is in immediate danger or needs urgent assistance, contact the appropriate emergency number in your location directly. Do not delay calling for help while checking alerts or app information.

Review the app’s privacy policy and the permissions requested during setup, particularly any access to your location or notifications. Location access may support area-specific information, but you can decide whether to grant it based on the app’s available settings and your comfort level. Also remember that alerts can include sensitive incident details, so consider where and when notifications appear on your device.
