Core Features

How does location monitoring work?

You can add locations such as home, work, or school, and ProAct will show nearby offenders, distances from the location, and relevant details for awareness.

What is a “protected location”?

A protected location is any place you choose to monitor, such as your home or a family member’s address. ProAct tracks offender proximity to that location.

Can I share reports with others?

Yes. You can share a safety report with friends or family. This allows them to see information relevant to their location.

What happens when I share a report?

Depending on how you share:

  • The recipient may receive a link to view the report
  • They may be prompted to download ProAct for full access

Facial Recognition

3

How does face search work?

You can upload a photo, and ProAct will compare it against publicly available offender records to identify potential matches.

How accurate is face matching?

Results are probabilistic, not definitive. ProAct shows top potential matches and similarity scores. Treat results as informational, not conclusive identification.

What happens to photos I upload?

Photos uploaded for face search are used only for the search process, deleted shortly after processing, and not stored long-term.

The app isn’t working. What should I do?
