How can regular people help the FBI catch bank robbers?

Answer: with an app

On Aug. 19, the FBI announced the release of a new app that allows regular, everyday citizens to use their iOS and Android devices to help solve crimes.

The app, called FBI Bank Robbers, allows users to receive push notifications about suspected criminals in their area, along with physical descriptions, photos and reward information. Users with information about the criminal are given the option to call the FBI or submit a tip via the app. The app is an extension of an FBI website, https://bankrobbers.fbi.gov/, which launched in 2012.
