Our Idea
Hello. We are Zane, Emmett, and Eli. We are seventh graders in the greater Los Angeles area. Recently, in science class, we have been assigned to work on projects that impact our greater community. At first, we were thinking about an affordable housing-related project. According to the assistant manager at Mar Vista Gardens, one of the biggest problems they had was the residents' safety. They had a neighborhood watch, but they reported to management if they see a crime, and if management wasn't there than the criminal got away. We were originally going to make a Google Form for the neighborhood watch to report, and it would connect to the police. Then we developed the idea into an app for everyone, instead of Mar Vista Gardens. If you wanted to report a crime using the app, then you would simply type in what happened, and you have the option to take a picture to give the police a better idea of what happened. After that, your report and location are sent to the police, so they can catch the criminal, and put more officers in crime-ridden areas.
Currently, our app, Watchdog, is still in development. When finished, it will be a demo. We are currently contacting police departments to measure interest in our platform. If you would like Watchdog for your police department (when development is finished), click here to contact us.
