This controversial real-time crime alert app is now selling access to its safety agents
CNN
Next time you're walking alone at night or meeting up with a stranger for a first date, one startup, the real-time crime alert app Citizen, would like to listen in -- with the goal of protecting you.
Citizen, an app best known and sometimes criticized for sending real-time crime and emergency alerts that can put users on edge, launched a paid private security product called Protect on Tuesday. For $19.99 a month, a subscriber can connect 24/7 with Protect agents through the Citizen app by text or video chat -- or by shaking their phone or screaming, if those functions are enabled via "Protect Mode," a feature currently only available on iOS.
