New York, NY (1888PressRelease) October 14, 2010 - Eaglevision Productions, Inc. is pleased to announce a new iphone utility app now available in the iphone App Store - Police Anywhere.

Police Anywhere was developed out of a frustrating personal situation. In June of 2010 Jeff Eagle had come to the aid of an elderly man wandering and lost in a Campbell, California city park. This elder gentleman had Alzheimer's, had no idea how to get home, and needed attention from authorities. While this situation was not technically an emergency it was urgent, and Mr. Eagle became frustrated at the events that inspired from what he felt should have been a simple 30 second phone call to local police.

Using his smart phone Jeff searched for the local (non-emergency) phone listing for the police. No lucky there. Next Jeff remembered 311 and dialed assuming he would directly connected to the Campbell Police department. Instead Jeff was connected with San Francisco law enforcement personnel (50 miles away). For a phone transfer to the Campbell police to happen Mr. Eagle was required to listen to a legal disclaimer statement and then he was transferred. In total the time to connect this seemingly simple call was 12-15 minute.

After this park adventure Jeff kept thinking that while mobile phone technology allows for quick access, there are times when the connections are not convenient and can be inefficient, cumbersome, and frustratingly slow. With the advent of smart phones and built in GPS technology anyone could have the nation's police department at their fingertips with quick and easy access. And so Police Anywhere was born.

Police Anywhere detects the users current location automatically and displays local law enforcement information. Police Anywhere works with wifi and cell networks, requires internet for the auto-locate, and has law enforcement phone numbers for the entire United States.

Police Anywhere is now available in the iphone App Store just in time for National Crime Prevention Month (October 1-31). www.policeanywhereapp.com
