"I've been in law enforcement for 20 years and I have found a lot of apps that helped me do my job. However this one surpasses them all. Best law enforcement app yet." - NC Police Officer "Top 15 Mobile & Tablet Police Apps" - CriminalJusticePursuit Free 10-21 app users can: - Call citizens from local numbers - Receive and respond to callback requests - Direct citizens to dispatch for immediate assistance 10-21 Police Phone Professional subscribers can: - Set your outbound caller ID to "LAW ENFORCEMENT" - View the citizen's caller ID in callback requests - Send an automatic follow up message via SMS - Retain call records for the life of your subscription 10-21 (radio code for "make a phone call") is a Police App for making free* calls to citizens that GET ANSWERED. Calls are made from local (not blocked) numbers without revealing your personal number. Stop getting sent to voicemail! For example, if you call a citizen in Miami area code (305), they will receive an incoming call from a local (305) number, regardless of where you are. They are more likely to answer that call on your first try. If the citizen calls back, rather than bugging you off-duty, they will be prompted to "Press 1 to Request a Call Back" (via Push Notification) or "Press 0 to Reach a Dispatcher" (connects to a non-emergency number that you provide). When citizens request a call back, you receive a Push Notification on your phone rather than a phone call. At your convenience, simply tap the notification to initiate a call back out to the citizen. *Calls are made over a VoIP data connection and do not use your cellular minutes. While the data used is minimal, data usage fees from your provider may apply. Terms of Use: https://app.10-21.com/terms/phone
