CRIMEWATCH opens communication channels between law enforcement agencies and the communities they serve.
If your local police department is NOT listed, please let them know about CRIMEWATCH, or email support@crimewatch.net and we will contact them about joining. All crime data comes directly from participating agencies, so if an agency is NOT on CRIMEWATCH, unfortunately no crime data will be available.
Use this app to browse crime related information from participating agencies. Information such as arrests, fugitives, incidents and other news comes directly from participating local/county/state agencies. Users can anonymously contact participating agencies, or leave contact information. CRIMEWATCH partners with law enforcement and effectively routes intelligence where it needs to go.

I love the concept of this app and it’s purpose but I am continually frustrated with its operation. Either I am totally misunderstanding how to navigate this (in which case it is overly complex) or something is wrong with this version. I’ve followed the local agencies, but I can’t seem to get the “nearby” feed to accurately report the most recent local incidents. I get local incident from various amounts of months ago seemingly randomly displayed, then as I scroll downward I get results from all agencies wishing the last few days. Very frustrated but will continues to check back due to the potential this app has.
Oh developers where are you at??

I downloaded this without the usual research that I do a reading of reviews, which I think was a mistake… Again. For the last five years people have been asking for the same thing and where are they developers at to answer those? Who knows? Some of them have been answered, but have they been fixed… NO! Don’t the developers know that just because you create an app it doesn’t stop there? I’m sure the good ones to know that,But obviously not all of them. Like I said, just because you develop an app, don’t they know that the AFTER development is just as important if not more important than anything else. You have to keep your viewers. Happy. Well, there’s no need of me sitting here talking about this because evidently they don’t get it with this app because from five years back, they’ve been asking for the same thing and they have not received it as of yet. I’ll probably be deleting this app.
Only Harrisburg, PA Area!?
yyy888
It has potential but there are problems:1) The app description should list which U.S. States it currently covers. The way the description is written, you'd expect it to cover several states. It just covers Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Big disappointment and a waste of my time. 2) App supposedly gives you a "choice" about using your location. I answered "No". Later on, the app declares there is no information in my area! What? How does it know that without looking up my location? Why did it even ask my location if it was just going to ignore my answer? Privacy issue.
Need a way to go back

This app really needs a way to go back on an iPhone. You click on something and then the absolute only way to go back to the previous page is to completely start over. It's extremely annoying. I just downloaded this app today and I already want to delete it off my phone. Fix this problem.
