Thomasville Police Department launches crime fighting app

The new website offers direct access to crime and public safety-related information Thomasville, NC (October 12, 2023) – The Thomasville Police Department and Police Chief Dustin Carter want to remind citizens/stakeholders of the launch of a new website/APP that gives people who use social networks and mobile devices an easier, more effective way to help fight crime and stay informed. The new Thomasville Police Department website was developed in partnership with CRIMEWATCH™ Technologies and is part of the CRIMEWATCH Network (crimewatch.net).

This online tool gives the public direct access to crime and public safety-related information happening in their community. “This new website is the perfect entry point for establishing better police and public partnerships. Technology gives us the opportunity to communicate with the public and the anonymity of the tech avoids the potential risks of sharing information with the police.  Several police departments throughout the region are having great success using this technology," said Chief Carter. 

Thomasville Police Department actually went live in late 2022 with the CRIMEWATCH™ Network; a communications platform developed specifically for law enforcement agencies that allows for geographically targeted information sharing and intelligence gathering. Local residents and students are strongly encouraged to visit ThomasvillePoliceNC.org connect with police department social media sites, and/or download CRIMEWATCH™ Mobile from the Apple App Store or Android App Store. The new Thomasville Police Department Website can be found at ThomasvillePoliceNC.org.

This resource allows residents to do the following: Sign up for a free account to receive e-mail alerts regarding crimes committed in certain areas, Submit a tip to local law enforcement, View recent arrests and “most wanted” lists, Register camera and alarm systems, Share information with others through social media, and Get connected with resources and services.
