CopCritic

CopCritic is the first live streaming application and website that is focused specifically on improving the safety among interactions with the public and law enforcement. The CopCritic application and process is designed to de-escalate potentially threatening situations during routine stops. CopCritic allows the public to view live interactions between citizens and law enforcement during routine stops, share their opinions on what they view are good and poor practices, escalate when an officer is using unnecessary force or aggressiveness, and rate officer performance. Escalated streams become featured streams and trigger notification to site members and app user’s loved ones. Archived streams are searchable by location, police station, officer ratings, views and escalations. CopCritic’s analytics team utilizes data, public ratings, comments and forum discussion to provide law enforcement with the tools they need to better train officers. CopCritic identifies examples of outstanding performance, poor performance and officers with repeated behaviors of public disapproval. CopCritic reduces tensions, increases transparency and improves communication between law enforcement and the communities they serve
