In Decatur Georgia, three high school siblings have developed and launched a
mobile app that gives citizens a voice in their encounters with law enforcement officials.
The teens said the app, called “Five-O,” will empower communities across the United States with the ability to record their interactions with local police departments and to share that information with the public, according to the group’s website. The app was released Monday.
The app aggregates reported scores for a police officer or department, and uses that information to assign a “grade.” It also includes a GPS system that records the spot where the encounter took place.
There is hope in this younger generation!
Ima, Caleb and Asha Christian developed the app with the help of mentors, and said their aim was to allow citizens to hold local law enforcement officials accountable for their actions.
There will even be a
"know your rights section."
