Citizen is the No. 1 public safety app in the U.S., with a mission to make the world a safer place. In addition to serving millions of individuals, Citizen Enterprise delivers real-time situational intelligence to organizations, cities, and teams that need to make fast, informed decisions when it matters most. Citizen provides 911 alerts so people can use their phones to keep themselves, and the people and places they love, safe. Citizen has notified people to evacuate burning buildings, deterred school buses from nearby terrorist attacks, and led to the rescue of kidnapped children and missing people. Citizen’s alerts are accompanied by live stories, real-time updates, and user-generated content so app users never have to wonder why there are helicopters overhead or fire engines flying by. By broadcasting from the scene of an incident, communicating with one another, and reading live updates, communities are empowered by Citizen. We act fast, break news, and give people the immediate information they need to stay safe. Citizen Enterprise extends real-time awareness to organizations, offering advanced incident categorization, configurable alerts, and city-wide visibility to support public safety teams, corporate security, real estate operators, event organizers, and municipalities. The platform enables organizations to detect risks earlier, reduce noise, and respond with confidence by utilizing live, verified incident data. Our flagship paid product, Citizen Premium, currently unlocks 5 new features, including the powerful ability to listen to police and fire radios, unlock past incidents, create alert zones, view nearby registered offenders, and family plan to share your subscription with up to five people at no additional cost. Citizen is backed by 8VC, Founders Fund, Goodwater Capital, and Greycroft and has raised tens of millions in VC funding. https://vimeo.com/499700748
