Incident-Tracking App Pays Users $25 per Hour to Livestream Crime Scenes, House Fires: Report

The Epoch Times

Crime and incident-tracking app Citizen is offering up to $25 per hour for people in New York and Los Angeles to livestream videos from the scenes of crimes and other incidents, such as house fires, according to the New York Post.

The app, which is billed as โ€œthe most powerful safety app for todayโ€™s world,โ€ lets users receive real-time safety alerts and live video footage of incidents happening near them.

โ€œCitizen notifications have urged people to evacuate burning buildings, deterred school buses from nearby terrorist attacks, and have even led to a rescue of a 1-year-old from a stolen car,โ€ the company states in its app description on Google Play store.

The app sends notifications to nearby users whenever a 911 call reports an alleged crime or emergency affecting public safety. It also lets users upload video footage from the scene. But while the video reports have normally been uploaded by volunteers who happen to be in the vicinity, Citizen is now looking for full-time staff who would go to locations, stream live content, and cover the events as news.

A Citizen spokesperson told the Post that the company has hired casting agency Flyover Entertainment to run an ad for full-time โ€œfield team members,โ€ who would be the appโ€™s โ€œofficial on-the-ground presence, generating live content to give users real-time information on whatโ€™s going on in their city as it unfolds.โ€

Such staffers will be paid $250 per day for a 10-hour shift in Los Angeles, and $200 per day for an eight-hour shift in New York, according to the ad. While Citizen is currently looking for staff in New York and Los Angeles, โ€œother top 10 markets will be added soon,โ€ the listing notes.

โ€œThe app will never ask you to go to an actively dangerous location. You will be behind established media lines, behind police tape. You will be live-streaming from your phone straight to the app, covering the event as news,โ€ the ad states.
