MobilePatrol brings together news and alerts from participating public-safety agencies, along with selected public records. It suits people who want to follow safety information for several places, such as home, work, or a family member’s neighborhood, without relying only on general news feeds.
Add locations by ZIP code to see relevant updates from agencies serving those areas. The app’s feed can include local alerts and safety news, and it can send notifications to your phone. What you see depends on which agencies participate and what information they provide, so coverage may vary from one location to another.
MobilePatrol also offers access to public-safety records and information such as jail bookings, inmates, sex offenders, missing children, and delinquent child-support warrants. These tools may be useful for checking local public information, but they are not a substitute for contacting authorities in an emergency or confirming details with the responsible agency.
For people who regularly keep tabs on more than one community, the location-based setup gives the app a practical role beyond occasional browsing. Its value is strongest where local agencies have an active presence.
MobilePatrol is published by Equifax Incorporated and has more than 5 million installs. Its rating is 2.34 from about 39,000 reviews, a notably mixed reception that is worth weighing against the usefulness of local coverage in your area. If participating agencies provide timely information for the places you care about, it may earn a place on your phone; if coverage is thin, there may be little to keep checking.
