The Pittsburg Police Department is encouraging citizens to start using a cell phone app in their spring safety campaign that could help them help you. They recently began using the free cell phone app What 3 Words. This app provides a way for emergency responders to help locate you when you are not certain of your exact location. If you’re going camping or out on a hike, you might not know the closest crossroads, or even a way to describe your location. When you download the app it divides the world into a grid of 10 feet by 10 feet squares, then it will generate three words. Those words will give first responders your exact location.
