Community Watch is a platform enabling users to assist each other when in need. Responders will be notified and directed to your location. Your location will only be sent to other users who are willing to respond once you press Emergency.

The mission of Neighbourhood Watch is to deter crime and assist the community through presence in numbers. – This app will give them the edge.

When emergency is pressed in the app everybody that joined your family group will be notified, irrespective of their distance from you. Participating people, as example neighbourhood watch member’s or security companies, will receive the notification if you are within the range they set, if the “Respond All” has been turned on.

Every user can individually decide to receive notifications or not. One could, as example,leave family group notifications on, but can turn other notifications off when sleeping. Neighbourhood watch members will turn Respond to All on, and set the range for their neighbourhood while on patrol.

You can set your receive notification range. You will not receive notifications from people requesting assistance outside of the range you set. Pressing Emergency will send a notification to everybody who’s range overlaps with your current position and is willing to respond.

If your location overlaps with someone else who is willing to respond (set app as willing to respond within their range / "circle" & it overlaps you location) they will get your notification. People needing assistance will notify people in close proximity.

Irrespective of distance, notification will be received from your joined family group.

Current location can be sent via message to any of your contacts, even if they are not using the app.

Police locations can be listed and Apple Maps will. direct you there

Be aware that the service is reliant on connectivity as well as other factors and it is not fail proof. It is a best effort service. Presence in numbers deters crime. Do not take the law into your own hands. Notify law enforcement and let them take control of the situation.
