The East Chicago, Indiana Police Department is hoping to reduce crime with Atlas One. The app already got good use after a shots fired incident.
The East Chicago, Indiana, police department is hoping to reduce crime on city streets not with extra patrols, but with a sophisticated phone app.
"Instead of seeing a police car and not knowing what's going on, we can actually tell them there were shots fired; there was a robbery, might have been a homicide - something they need to be aware about, which will keep them safer that knowing in the area they live in, something happened," Rivera said.
Those critical tips can be submitted straight from a user's phone using the app, allowing a witness to send pictures and videos to the department, all anonymously.
