What's in the app
- Calls: a feed of police calls from the Southeast District and Citywide channels, each with its type, block-level location (when it's safe to show), outcome and a redacted transcript.
- Map and timeline: where and when calls are happening, and how busy each district's radio is.
- History: the City's Open Baltimore 911 calls and reported crime for every district, by day, hour and police post.
- Follow and alerts: follow a call for updates, and with Premium+ get a short heads-up when a channel gets busy.
Privacy first
No accounts. Your location never leaves your phone. Names, phone numbers, plates and other personal details are removed from the radio before it reaches the app, and sensitive calls never show a precise location. Read the privacy policy.
