What you'll see
- Active incidents within Phoenix city limits, refreshed every minute
- Incident type, location, dispatched units, and time on scene
- Map and list views, filter by distance from where you are
- Optional alerts when something happens within a radius you set (paid tier)
Why a paid tier?
The free tier shows the same data anyone can see on the City's public dashboard, just packaged for your phone. The paid tier (coming after launch) adds custom alerts, faster refresh, and incident history — and it's how we cover server costs without ads or selling your data.
