Citizen is a free mobile application that notifies its users with safety alerts and real-time incident updates. It is a powerful force for good that has already evacuated people from burning buildings, diverted school buses from nearby terrorist attacks, and, in one instance, led to the rescue of a one-year-old boy from a stolen car. It is a truly unique proposition that provides you with alerts from 911 data that until now has never been made available to the public. The alerts are accompanied by live stories, real-time updates, and user-generated content to provide you with the information you need so you know what’s happening around you rather than having to wonder why police are on your corner or there are helicopters above you. Today, over a million people across the United States have downloaded the app and use it to keep themselves, their families, and their friends safe. Emergency services and community activists alike hail the app as a ground-breaking development in personal and community safety. Over 1 million New Yorkers have citizens, and the app has seen similar growth, usage, and engagement in LA, SF, Philadelphia, and Baltimore. The company was founded in 2017 and based in New York City, New York.
