Nice coverage

Emergency Response

Very amazing app, real time alerts, allows you to assist someone nearby in need of CPR.

Better detail about service calls and public safety information please.

Your descriptions of Calls are too vague, please give us more information especially where public safety is concerned.

We need better details and updates on events that significantly impact a community. Updates especially when impact on our area worsens.

Would be great to have a default setting for which map to use instead to remove annoying step of having to select it each time for directions. Otherwise it’s a great app!
