WOODBRIDGE, Va. — Virginia State Police on Friday chose Potomac Mills mall as the backdrop to announce their new “See Something, Send Something” mobile phone app.
The phone application available for iPhone and Android allows users to capture suspicious criminal activity via a photo or a written text message that is sent to state police directly from the phone app. It includes information on what to look for when reporting suspicious activity, but it is not meant to replace the traditional 911 phone service, according to officials.
