2. The Neighborhood Watch Mobile Application
Neighborhood Watch is a community awareness app that encourages
citizens to "Check In" at trouble spots in their neighborhood. Using the
gaming model of apps like Foursquare or Gowalla, users can become
“Mayor” of a location and earn participation-based “badges.” The goal
is to reduce crimes or minor problems in an area, and generally, make
neighbors aware of what's happening in their community.
