“We are thrilled to partner with Darryl because of the work he’s
doing to guide young people toward being the best they can be in
today’s challenging world,” said Ted Farnsworth, chairman and CEO
of HMNY and founder of RedZone. “Darryl’s tireless commitment to
people and their communities is demonstrated through his public
service, charitable work and the formation of his own organization
dedicated to helping people recover and thrive. His focus on making
communities better aligns perfectly with ours and we look forward
to working together to promote personal safety through
RedZone.”
Unlike Google Maps and Waze, RedZone Map is the first app that
goes beyond navigation to address personal safety, combining
GPS-driven direction with real-time crime data and social
listening. When introduced, the app broke through the top 5 in the
Apple App Store’s U.S. navigation category, right behind Google
Maps and Waze. Being the only app offering a safer route versus a
riskier route, RedZone Map empowers its users with a choice.
“I am greatly impressed by RedZone Map and the team’s dedication
to help taking communities back and making them safer,” said
Strawberry. “The app helps people become more aware of and informed
about crime and their surroundings. Building community awareness is
an important step toward ultimately reducing crime and turning red
zones into green zones. If we can save just one life, we’ve
accomplished our mission.”
