The Lake Havasu City Police Department has released a free mobile app to connect with members of the Lake Havasu City community through their smartphones and tablets.

Anyone using Android, Windows or Apple platforms can download the app simply by going to the app store and searching for the “Lake Havasu City PD” app.

The new app allows Lake Havasu City Police to quickly disseminate emergency alerts, and post news about missing persons, traffic delays and crime reports.  In the event of an emergency, app users receive instant notification via their mobile devices.

Citizens can easily send comments and crime tips — anonymously if they wish — and place calls to the Lake Havasu City Police Department with the touch of a button. They can notify the department about suspicious activity and easily send images such as graffiti through the app.

The app provides an easy-to-use method for two-way communication between our department and community members.  It is a valuable tool for keeping the Havasu Community safe.

The app also allows the Lake Havasu City Police Department to post photos and images, bulletins, a calendar of events, and even conduct community surveys.

The app supports the department’s commitment to engage with the community in a timely manner through all sorts of social media. News that is distributed through the app will also be set to automatically post on the department’s other social media accounts and distributed to the news media.

The Lake Havasu City PD app is not meant to replace calling 911 for crimes and emergencies in progress.  Those experiencing an emergency situation should continue to call 911.

The Lake Havasu City PD app was developed under the name USPDhub by LogicTree IT Solutions, Inc. (http://www.logictreeit.com) of Citrus Heights, CA.
