                                               he Fort Lauderdale Police Department is excited to announce our partnership
                                               with SaferWatch, a free mobile app designed to facilitate two-way
                                       Tcommunication between its users and the Fort Lauderdale Police Department.

                                       The SaferWatch App gives neighbors and visitors in Fort Lauderdale a direct line to the
                                       Fort Lauderdale Police Department. Using the SaferWatch app, individuals can report
                                       incidents and receive real-time safety alerts directly from law enforcement.

                                       Through the convenience of a smartphone, users are encouraged to “See Something,
                                       Send Something,” by submitting non-emergency tips directly to the Fort Lauderdale
                                       Police Department. These tips can be sent anonymously and can include photos and
                                       videos. Once the Fort Lauderdale Police Department receives the information, the
                                       appropriate unit will begin processing.

                                       Users can also subscribe to nearly 200 pre-mapped locations within the City of Fort
                                       Lauderdale, including the neighborhoods, schools, and high traffic areas such as Las
                                       Olas. Once subscribed to a location, users will begin receiving real-time safety alerts
                                       posted by the Fort Lauderdale Police Department.
                                       “The SaferWatch Application is a tool that allows the community to connect directly with
                                       the Fort Lauderdale Police Department. Safety is always the top priority for our
                                       community. SaferWatch allows us to communicate seamlessly with our neighbors and
                                       visitors through their smartphones.
                                       Subscribe to SaferWatch today to receive alerts and safety instructions while living,
                                       working, or visiting Fort Lauderdale.” – Chief of Police Rick Maglione

                                       The app does not replace 911 and is not to be used to submit information that requires
                                       an emergency response. As always, please dial 911 for emergencies.

                                       The Fort Lauderdale Police Department encourages our
                                       neighbors to download the SaferWatch app (iOS/Android) and
                                       subscribe to locations of their choice. To download and learn
                                       more about SaferWatch, go to FLPDAlerts.com. HB
