Location based danger zone notifications would be helpful. "Warning: You are entering an area with a large number of reported muggings."

or a warning every time you get into your car "Warning: locations like these have a significantly higher fatality rate"
“Warning: its 8pm on a friday night and half the cars you see from here on out are drunk”
There is an app called Citizen that notifies you about crime happening near you in real time
Damn, the police should start using that app!
It's vise versa. Citizen app listens to the police radio and puts the gps coordinates on the map with the descriptions taken from the police report. They have social network on top of that where people can submit videos and live videos
Stay tuned for some exciting feature launches in the near future :)
Please let me configure it so that I can play Kenny Loggins' Danger Zone as my notification.
Takes phone out of pocket to see what the notification was
