Company profile
researched Sep 2026CityCop is a social platform for community watch that lets users report crimes in their communities and receive real-time alerts about incidents in areas they care about, such as homes, workplaces and schools. The service aggregates crowdsourced user reports with official crime reports from public agencies into a syndicated crime database intended to make it easier to assess how safe a given area is at a given time.
The company frames its mission as democratizing public safety information, citing the share of crimes that go unreported — Bureau of Justice Statistics estimates that roughly 52% of violent crimes in the US go unreported annually, and United Nations reporting that over 70% of crimes in Latin America are not reported to authorities. Beyond reporting and alerting, the company describes applying AI and machine learning to predict and help prevent crime. Internal records also associate the company with a public safety API offering.
The platform is distributed for Android and iOS, with Windows Phone listed as planned. Listed team size is in the 1-10 range, with one directory reporting nine employees.
