When people ask me what SeeClickFix is, or what it does, I avoid the tech speak and instead try to get to the heart of what it has meant to my community - “SeeClickFix is an online tool that turns one citizen’s concern into a neighborhood invested in a positive action”

On our quiet, residential street, one neighbor saw a very suspicious car continually parked in front of a school - different cars pulled up, rolled down the windows and then sped off.  It happened everyday for a week.  The neighbor reported it on SeeClickFix “Hey this is sorta suspicious, what do you think?” - A week later, after more neighbors noticed the same thing, the New Haven Police Department spotted the activity, stopped the vehicles, and put a few drug dealers in jail.  It happened that quick - one citizen’s concern, one post on SeeClickFix, one entire neighborhood made safer.

That’s the the power of SeeClickFix.  Its not always drug dealers - sometimes its potholes, sometimes its tree limbs, often its just a simple quality of life concern that everyone experiences, but no one says anything about.  SeeClickFix helps neighbors bring their everyday concerns into the light - it turns citizen complainers into neighborhood fixers……and it gives us all the tools we need to not only spot problems, but correct them.
