Patent US 10,692,359

A witness request and alert notification and tracking system provides users the ability to notify other users of an alert event, such as a fire, or request a witness to an event, such as an altercation or protest. An alert event may be an emergency situation that users may be warned to avoid and a witness request may request users to come to an event location. A witness request event may be an event that the posting user wants documentation of, such as an altercation. A witness request may be an event wherein the posting user wants assistance and/or protection. The system enables a user to set an area range for the post and users within the range will receive the post. Other users can then add to the event log with text, pictures or videos. The system utilizes global positioning systems to track the location of the users.
