Help make your city, improvement district or transportation system safer by reporting safety and security concerns.  When you see a problem, the See Say app provides a quick and discreet way to inform people who can do something about it, the safety and security dispatchers who respond to incidents in your community. The See Say app can send photos, video, a description of the problem, and the incident location. A dispatcher may reply to your report by chatting with you through the app in real-time. From the app home screen, users have two easy options for submitting information: * The Report a Problem button allows users to send incident reports directly. To ensure discretion, the camera flash is automatically disabled when photos are taken through the app.  App users may also send reports anonymously if they chose. * The Call Police button will connect app users directly to an organization’s security or Police, by phone. Additional Features BOLO (Be On the Look Out) Alerts. BOLO Alerts on the See Say app may display alerts from security or Police about specific persons of interest.
