Citizens Can Now Report Non-Emergency Issues Using Their iPhones
Aug 26,2011
Is there a traffic light in your neighborhood that's not working right? Maybe that pothole you hit on your way to work every morning is driving you crazy and you think it should be fixed.
Menlo Park, CA has a new app called "Menlo Park Direct Connect" which allows residents to report non-emergency problems using their iPhones. With the Menlo Park Direct Connect app, residents can point, click, and submit real-time pictures and locations of graffiti and other issues directly to the City. Citizens can report issues on the go and act as extra "eyes on the street" to report issues in their communities. The application will work in conjunction with the City's Direct Connect online service which makes it easy for the City to track and manage these requests and promptly address citizen concerns. The app is expected to become available for Android devices in the near future. iPhone users can download it now for free through the iPhone App Store or at http://www.menlopark.org/.
