Service

BlueLine Grid provides a specialized messenger application that connects public employees and their partners. An official agency or government email is not required to use the application, but it is necessary for identities to be verified in order to access the connections or information within the Grid. Whereas the BlueLine Connect service was exclusively for law enforcement officials, the BlueLine Grid platform can be downloaded by anyone for its services, but the registry is restricted to verified public employees. The application allows users to be able to find local public employees by area, agency, and proximity to connect, communicate, or collaborate. All data in The Grid is based on publicly available information. Only people that users are connected to and other verified public employees can view profile information, which does not contain personal contact information.
