On the record.

ON THE RECORD RIGHT NOW

Stories landing this week

Real moments, real names, real agencies. Tap any story to open the full thread — reactions, replies, the whole record.

HOW IT WORKS

Three steps. The whole thing.

1
You had a moment with a public servant.
Maybe the EMT held your mom's hand at 2am. Maybe the DMV clerk made you come back three times for a form their website didn't even mention. Maybe the school board voted no on the bus route your kid needed. Write what happened. Two minutes.
2
You pick your name on CivicTab.
When you sign up, you choose a public username — could be your real name, could be RocklandMom or JK_SpringValley. Whatever you pick is how the community sees you. Your email and personal info stay private.
3
Everyone in your town sees it.
Your story joins the public record under that person's name. Neighbors searching that officer find it. Reporters covering that agency find it. The mayor running for re-election finds it. Patterns become impossible to ignore — and agencies are forced to actually respond, because the whole community is now watching.
WHY THIS HAS TO EXIST

You have 47 reviews for the pizza place down the street. Zero for the cop who pulled you over last month.

We review restaurants. We review Ubers. We review dentists, plumbers, hair salons. We trust those reviews so much that they change which businesses live and die.

But the people who actually run your community — the cop, the EMT, the DMV clerk, the school board member, the mayor — you have no place to say "this person saved me" or "this person treated me like dirt and got away with it."

That's what CivicTab is. One public record, by the people, for the people, of the people who serve them. Recognize the good. Document the rest. On the record. Forever.

Partnership Opportunity

Why Partner With CivicTab?

CivicTab is the public record of every interaction with a public servant — police, EMT, fire, DMV, hospitals, government. We turn the most emotional moments people have with civic institutions into a structured, shareable record. The people here aren’t scrolling memes — they showed up because something happened and they want it written down. That’s an audience advertisers don’t reach anywhere else.

Frequently asked questions

What CivicTab is, how it works, and what it costs.

What is CivicTab?

CivicTab is a free community platform to recognize, rate, follow, and hold accountable the public servants and officials who serve your area — police, EMTs, firefighters, DMV clerks, nurses, teachers, and your elected representatives. It also shows live local emergency calls and hosts community discussion.

How often is CivicTab updated?

Continuously. Community members post new stories every day, the Live Calls board refreshes roughly every minute from public scanner data, and new officials and agencies are added regularly. There's no fixed schedule — it updates whenever the community is active, which is daily.

Is CivicTab free? Is there paid content?

Yes — CivicTab is free for the public. Reading stories and posting your own are always free, with no paywall. The only paid option is for public servants and agencies: an optional analytics dashboard at Local $29/mo, State $99/mo, or Congress $299/mo. Regular users never pay.

Is there a newsletter or notifications?

You can follow people and agencies and turn on in-app notifications for replies and new activity. A weekly "what's happening near you" email digest is rolling out — opt in from your profile, and you'll get a short local recap each week.

Who can use CivicTab?

Anyone 13 or older. Residents share their experiences; verified public servants get a green ✓ badge and can respond to stories on the record.

How do I post a story?

Tap Share, describe what happened, pick the person or agency, give a rating, and post — about 30 seconds. Clean stories publish instantly; a few are held briefly for review.

How is content kept accurate and safe?

An automatic filter plus human review screen for spam, false, or harmful posts, and we never publish private information — no home addresses, medical details, or victim names. Anyone can report a story or block a user.

Where does CivicTab operate?

It's strongest in Rockland and Westchester County, New York — with 156,000+ New York public servants already on the record — and it's expanding to more areas.
