MPD Grid

Built for the DC Metropolitan Police Department, MPD Grid enhances collaboration by allowing MPD users to receive critical alerts, to find each other by location, proximity, unit, or specialty; and with permission to then connect and collaborate one-to-one or in groups, share images, location and real-time intelligence in instant messaging conversations or 1-click conference calls.

Read receipts let your coordinator know whether you've seen the alert. A backup email will let you know about an alert when you're away from your phone.
