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.
