MIAMI & NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Helios and Matheson Analytics Inc. (NASDAQ: HMNY) and RedZone, creator of the RedZone Map™ app, announced today that London is the latest addition to the RedZone Map real-time crime mapping coverage.
The launch of RedZone Map in London comes at a time when Londoners are seeing a sharp increase in violent crime. Coming on the heels of the new London Metropolitan Police Commissioner promising a five-year crackdown on violence, the app, which presents crime data for shootings, assaults, thefts and hate crimes, is now available to help RedZone Map users in London become more aware of their surroundings and avoid higher crime locations.
RedZone Map uses numerous resources to drop its crime-reporting pins, including local, national and international law enforcement agencies, security firms, traditional media, global press, social media with social listening and first-hand user reports. Having recently added live Twitter feeds that work in conjunction with artificial intelligence and big data analytics capabilities, the high-tech expansion of the app comes at a time when personal safety is a significant concern.
“The London expansion is our first step towards a full European launch,” said Ted Farnsworth, founder of RedZone. “It has always been our goal to enhance personal safety worldwide and our launch in London is a critical first step in extending our international reach. “
