Public Safety, Privacy & Responsible Online Engagement

In today’s digital world, being labeled a “person of interest,” tied to a warrant, or associated with an arrest that’s later dismissed or expunged can live online indefinitely.

A recent article highlights the real, lasting impact of digital records, even when someone was never charged or has been legally cleared.

This is where CRIMEWATCH comes in. Our ControlShare™ Technology is just one of many platform features specifically designed for law enforcement’s online engagement.

It enables agencies to share critical public safety information while also responsibly updating, redacting, or REMOVING content (including images) as cases evolve, warrants are cleared, or records are expunged from search and social media.

builds trust, but only when paired with accuracy, accountability, and respect for a person’s right to move forward.

At CRIMEWATCH, we’re proud to recognize outstanding leaders who truly understand the value of community engagement and transparent communication.

Chief Ron Camacho is one of those leaders. Many of us had the privilege of working alongside him during his time in York County, and later as Chief at the Chambersburg Police Department, where he leveraged the CRIMEWATCH Platform to significantly strengthen public engagement, streamline communications, and expand community-driven crime reduction efforts.

It’s no surprise to see him continuing that success today in North Charleston. His commitment to transparency, meaningful community connection, and supporting the men and women of his agency is making a real impact.

Congratulations, Chief Camacho, on a strong first year and thank you for your continued trust in CRIMEWATCH as a partner in modern public safety.

As Chief Camacho marks his one-year anniversary, his leadership has left an indelible mark on the North Charleston Police Department (NCPD).

Ever click a public-safety headline…only to hit a paywall?

When public-safety news sits behind paywalls, the public often sees only the headline, not the full story. Without context, details are misinterpreted, speculation spreads, and rumors take hold.

Local media remain trusted partners in keeping communities informed, but paywalls limit the reach of their reporting.

CRIMEWATCH ensures full, free access to verified public-safety information, directly from law enforcement. By removing barriers, the public can see the facts, understand the context, and trust the information they receive.

Transparency isn’t optional. It's essential for a safe, informed, and connected community. / Connect. Engage. Solve.

Public opinion surveys are valuable, but they only capture a moment in time.
What if your agency could generate continuous, real-time feedback simply by showing up online where your community already is?

Agencies using CRIMEWATCH and sharing consistently on the platform are seeing online engagement that exceeds their service populations, in some cases by 1,000%+.

Why? Because transparency builds trust, and trust fuels collaboration.

It’s no surprise that CRIMEWATCH agencies are clearing more cases and apprehending more fugitives than agencies relying solely on social media or other tools.
If you want your community to stay informed and stay engaged hashtag they trust for public safety news and information.

The West Whiteland Township Police Department (suburban Philadelphia), led by Chief Lee Benson is a great example of that transparency and trust.

There are plenty of “mobile apps” for law enforcement, but none match the depth, security, and purpose-built design of CRIMEWATCH.

CRIMEWATCH is an affordable, one-stop platform for all online engagement (Web, Mobile, Social), engineered specifically for law enforcement and the responsible sharing and removal of public safety information.

Our unique ControlShare™ Technology allows agencies to automatically sunset content to align with policy, legal requirements and most importantly, a person’s right to be forgotten.

We’ve also introduced our Secure AI Assistant, designed specifically for CRIA-compliant content creation, helping PIOs and agency leaders produce accurate, policy-aligned public safety updates quickly and securely.

It’s time to look not just at how your agency and PIOs are sharing information… but how you’re removing it.

Let’s start that conversation.
