An innovative software platform and a tool that enables Neighborhood Watch organizations (crime watch, neighbourhood crime watch) to create and manage human-based safety nets and connect their members and all parts of the local community!
At the same time, Citizens can enjoy the benefits of one of the best mobile apps for personal safety.
Your safety net could include only your Neighborhood Watch organization with different groups and subgroups but also you can create a multi-organizational network. For example, the network could include Neighborhood Watch organizations, emergency services, city services, care associations, organizations such as the Red Cross and others.
A powerful web-based app for the management, analysis and control of the network and broadcasting media-rich content to all members and users
Extremely flexible, it can be used to report or respond to a situation. At the same time, it is one of the best safety mobile apps on the market
Wireless, coin-sized push-button which connects with the mobile app. It is very useful in emergencies, for the elderly and disabled
Collection, analysis and reporting from the field about the work of Neighborhood Watch organizations and members, reported incidents, which ultimately makes a great added value when deciding, planning and monitoring the work of NW organizations.
With Qdrome you can broadcast a message from its Control center (with images, videos, audio files and text) to the members of Neighborhood Watch or just one team (eg. Neighborhood Watch patrol). You can also, for example, broadcast messages to all connected citizens that something is happening in a particular neighborhood (eg a protest, concert, car accident…), and they will instantly see it on their mobile devices.
At the same time, every Neighborhood Watch member (patrol member, guard..) can broadcast a media-rich message with location and GPS tracking data to all other members and the Control center and report the incident or situation. The possibilities are endless and you can tailor them to the needs of your Neighborhood Watch organization.
The Control center app can have several types of reporting in the form of a table, graph or heat map. In practice, the query can be “Show me all incidents by hours where the police were called in the last 3 months” or “Show me only incidents related to house burglaries in the last year”, etc.
The Neighborhood Watch patrols can report incidents of suspicious persons, suspicious houses, house burglaries, car break-ins, drug dealing, and so on.
The concentration of reports of suspicious criminal acts and incidents can also be seen in the form of a heat map.
The graph shows the number of incidents reported by NW patrols by hour. The graph can also show the number of incidents in a certain period on a weekly, monthly or yearly basis.
Members of NW patrols can use predefined tags when reporting incidents. In addition to significantly speeding up communication during the incident, it later enables high-quality analysis and filtering of the collected data and the creation of reports in the Control center.
The tags that will be used for a particular type of broadcast or the Group as a whole are defined by the Group administrator. For example: Police called, Police arrived, Ambulance called, Ambulance arrived, Ambulance left, Firefighters called, Firefighters arrived, Offender arrested, Chase in progress, Patrol in progress, etc.
Group user management, such as inviting Neighborhood Watch members and citizens to the group, assigning certain roles, deleting from the group, etc., is the task of the Group Administrator (via Qdrome Control center). Users are all members of your group.
There are two user roles: Regular users and Responders. Regular users can use the mobile app to report events and incidents, while Responders (Neighborhood Watch members) can respond to them, but they can also report events themselves. As a Group Administrator, you can give custom names to your users and Responders.
There is also a role of Recruiter who has all the privileges of a Responder plus the ability to recruit new Neighborhood Watch members and citizens (invite new users to the group) through the Qdrome mobile application.
Personnel in the Control room can divide its Neighborhood Watch area into zones and determine geo-boundaries for individual neighborhoods to have an overview of the zones in which certain patrols move, for easier organization and non-overlapping.
Need an efficient utility tool to connect multiple Neighborhood Watch organizations in your city or area? Would you like to network with other associations, NWO or, for example, emergency services? No problem!
Our software enables you to create a safety net with a tree structure and connect all parts of local communities. You can create an unlimited number of subgroups and levels.
