Neighborhood Crime Watch

Shoot, spot and share the details of suspicious activity in your neighborhood.

Neighborhood Crime Watch is a Chrome extension designed to help you swiftly document and share suspicious activities in your neighborhood. With this tool, you can take pictures of concerning incidents, pinpoint their locations using GPS or network data, and share comprehensive details with neighbors or law enforcement through email, SMS, and other platforms.

Please note, this extension is not intended for emergency situations—always call 911 or local police in emergencies. It is unaffiliated with any law enforcement agency. Features include capturing multiple photos, mapping activities, and sending location links via Google Maps. While this ad-supported version doesn't save your reports, you can upgrade to NCW Pro to store and manage past incidents.
