It’s often the little things that make the biggest difference.

CRIMEWATCH was built specifically for law enforcement, to strengthen transparency, maximize community engagement, and make it easier to ask for the public’s help when it matters most.
When communication is clear, timely, and accessible, communities respond.

A great example: the Township Police Department recently leveraged CRIMEWATCH to seek assistance from the public following a pursuit. Turning awareness into action.

Misinformation spreads fast. Panic spreads faster.
Here's a recent press conference from Albany Police Chief Brendan Cox talking about this very issue.

By the time the truth is out, the narrative is already out of your control.

Many law enforcement agencies embed their Facebook feeds into their websites to drive community engagement, but that approach comes with built-in limitations.

If a member of the public isn’t on social media, they’re immediately cut off from critical information. At the same time, more and more media outlets are placing public safety stories behind paywalls, further restricting access to important updates.

Public safety information shouldn’t be gated.

CRIMEWATCH changes that.

By providing a direct, authoritative channel to the public and the media, CRIMEWATCH ensures immediate access to timely, accurate information, without subscriptions, paywalls, or reliance on ever-changing algorithms.

Embedding your CRIMEWATCH feed into your website expands your reach, strengthens transparency, and ensures your message is seen when it matters most.

Transparency builds trust. Proven transparency works.

Balancing privacy, transparency, and a person’s right to be forgotten is one of the biggest challenges facing law enforcement today.

As lawmakers and law enforcement leaders across the country debate transparency, digital records, and the permanence of online information, agencies are being asked to manage both the public’s right to know and the privacy of individuals.

Information shared on social media spreads instantly and even when a post is edited or deleted, it can remain in shared feeds, and search results.

When circumstances change, such as a missing person being located, juvenile information, or details surrounding an arrest, agencies must quickly update or remove that information.

But searching across multiple social media posts and feeds to find content that needs to be updated or redacted is time-consuming, and missing even one post can create serious consequences.

CRIMEWATCH ControlShare™ technology solves that problem.

With a single action, agencies can update, redact, or remove information and images everywhere the content was originally shared.

If you're posting directly to social media, you don't truly control that content anymore.

CRIMEWATCH allows agencies to share responsibly while maintaining ownership and control of their information.

As lawmakers work to crack down on “mugshot mill” websites, the conversation is highlighting a real challenge in public safety:

Balancing with .

Recent reporting out of shows efforts to stop sites that profit from arrest photos, often charging individuals to have them removed, even when cases are dismissed. At the same time, concerns have been raised about limiting access to public records and reducing transparency.

CRIMEWATCH offers a solution that addresses BOTH concerns.

Our Controlshare™ Technology, ensures that agencies retain full ownership and control over what they publish.

That means the ability to update, edit, or remove content (including mugshots) and ensure those changes propagate across search engines and social media.

✔ Protection against mugshot/image scraping
✔ Elimination of third-party exploitation
✔ Preservation of transparency and public trust

Responsible sharing isn’t just about what you publish, it’s about maintaining control long after it’s shared. Ensuring a person’s right to be forgotten.
