Independent Board Member – Public Safety & Emergency Response Operations

About KrimeWatch Foundation Inc. (KFI):

KrimeWatch Foundation Inc. (KFI) is a 501(c)(3) civic technology organization built on a simple premise: public safety reporting should be privacy-first, evidence-grade, and free from panic monetization. KFI operates as the unmonetized public-trust parent entity managing zero-knowledge citizen intake apps (KrimeScene), core cloud infrastructure, and specialized machine-learning moderation (KrimeAI). To ensure sustainable funding without relying on ad-supported surveillance loops, KFI licenses its commercial software extensions to a taxable subsidiary, KrimeWatch Commercial Inc. (KCI). Commercial revenues flow back to KFI as equity growth and endowment dividends.
