Citizen is the No. 1 public safety app in the U.S., with a mission to make the world a safer place. 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. 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 where you can share your subscription with up to five people at no additional cost. Already relied on by millions of people every day, Citizen will expand even further across the United States this year to keep more users safe and informed with real-time alerts. We’re looking for hardworking, mission-driven individuals to help bring Citizen to hundreds of cities nationwide. Citizen is backed by 8VC, Founders Fund, Goodwater Capital, and Greycroft and has raised tens of millions in VC funding. https://vimeo.com/499700748
