"Citizen has become my go-to app for navigating the city safely. I used to feel anxious whenever I heard sirens or saw helicopters, but now I get instant updates on exactly what is happening near me. Last week, an alert helped me avoid a major incident that would have stranded my commute. It is an absolute must-have for anyone living in a metropolitan area."

The registered offender map and the real-time crime trends helped us feel much more informed and proactive about our neighborhood's safety. It is like having a digital neighborhood watch in your pocket."
