At this point you might be thinking "This sounds great, but there's gotta be a catch?"
The app was designed to be used less than 5 minutes per week on average.
This low amount of usage means there is no value in delivering ads or re-selling data.
For people, Lighcatch is free.
It is supported financially by home and business owners who use Crime Blocker to improve the results they get from Lightcatch.
Just click one of the buttons below and go through the setup to get started.
/lightcatch/7.png "Crowdsourced community input on Lightcatch App")
To stop crime before it happens with the best possible results create an alert with good colour video, clear images of the suspect, a clear respectful description of what is needed and what to look for, and call the police.
The better the quality you’ve made the alert, the more likely the public will support it.
Once that is done, the public has an amazing accuracy of confirming if what you alerted is a real threat or not.
If multiple people quickly confirm this is not a threat or risk, you or the triage team will delete the post.
You should then update the police that the issue appears to be clarified by the public.
If the activity is confirmed as suspicious by several witnesses, those updates should be forwarded to the police. The faster the better.
If a crime or potential crime is unfolding, do not hesitate to call 911.
If anyone tries to confuse the system with misinformation, their inputs will quickly be deleted and their usage blocked by the Operations team 24/7.
This kind of usage is normally pretty easy to spot. Behind the scenes our Operations Team can see who is making the anonymous reports, how long they have had the app, how truthful they’ve been in the past, and more. Blocking someone is a couple clicks once a decision has been made.
Speed is the most important factor when creating an alert. After it is created, you can go back and edit the alert to add in the best description possible.
If you want to add more images or video add them as an update and they will automatically get added to the image gallery.
Updates showing each time police have been contacted will improve results further.
I started my truck at 6:31, at 6:34 it was gone. I called the RCMP right away..... My one neighbour told me about this app....Within 1/2 of a day I started receiving messages from people.....
So many people started telling me about this app Lightcatch. ....I downloaded it, it's free, it's so easy to use and it's insane how kind everybody was on there.
