About Citizen

Citizen makes your world a safer place with a powerful free safety product and a life-saving personal safety subscription.

Our free product harnesses the power of mobile technology to provide real-time 911 safety alerts to people who are nearby dangerous events in progress, helping them avert danger. Our safety alerts have helped people evacuate burning buildings, returned countless missing children to their families, and have become part of the social safety infrastructure of most major US cities. Our unique blend of publicly reported incidents and user generated video/comments provides live on-the-ground coverage of community safety events.

Our paid product—Citizen Protect—is a first-of-its-kinds personal safety subscription that allows users to reach a digital guardian 24/7 for $20/mo. Subscribers have used Citizen Protect to de-escalate tense domestic situations, guide emergency response to remote hiking locations, travel safely on late-night walks and Ubers.

Citizen is backed by Sequoia Capital, 8VC, Goodwater Capital, and Founders Fund and has raised tens of millions in VC funding.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor required by law to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We are also required to measure our progress toward having at least 7% of our workforce be individuals with disabilities. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had a disability. Because a person may become disabled at any time, we ask all of our employees to update their information at least every five years.

Identifying yourself as an individual with a disability is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer will be maintained confidentially and not be seen by selecting officials or anyone else involved in making personnel decisions. Completing the form will not negatively impact you in any way, regardless of whether you have self-identified in the past. For more information about this form or the equal employment obligations of federal contractors under Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
