Ever wonder why there are suddenly six police cars parked across the street from you? Ever feel a need to listen to what the police are saying, whether you’re bored at home or coasting down the highway, trying to avoid traffic? The SCPD has the right app for you. They are calling it the first consumer-focused law enforcement app in the entire United States, with scanner feeds, videos and photos. You can even submit crime tips of your own, to help to keep the city safe. And you can access the SCPD’s new blog, to get the latest scoop about what’s going on in the department.
The app was developed by two former UCSC students (of course), Kushyar Kasraie and Jamieson Johnson, who went on to form the startup EZ Axess Inc. Right now the app is available for the iPhone only, but a new version for Droid is already on the way. Until then, you can still access the same information on your phone by going to SCPD’s new mobile website. Read more at Fox 35.
