Know What’s Happening in Austin Before Anyone Else Does
Austin has a crime problem. The news cycle is slow, notifications are vague, and by the time you read a headline, the situation is already over — or getting worse. Battle Buddy Premium gives you direct access to what Austin police and fire are actually responding to, in real time, 24/7. We monitor APD and AFD radio around the clock, automatically transcribe and categorize transmissions, and deliver that intelligence directly to you — unfiltered and fast.
