Police on the move and what side
Police on the move: I would put an option on the police spotter that shows moving/same side or moving/other side of the road. The app can see what direction/side the motorist is on, it would be a simple change to show that the police are moving on your side or other.

This would totally put this app over the top.
Just like a CB RADIO would do back in the day.
I like the timer feature, perfect!!! -

We need the ability to choose ‘Other Side’ in addition to our regular ability for Stalled Vehicle Reports. On Police Reports, there is the ability to choose ‘Other Side’. We need this functionality added to our Hazard/Stalled Vehicle Reports.

We should have an “in motion with me” option. For example, if I’m on the highway and I see a cop that is moving at the same speed as I am. I can alert other drivers that the cop is moving with me. That way other drivers won’t come flying by thinking that it was a false report. And whenever the cop exits, we can then cut the “in motion” option off.

At the very least you should be able to indicate that a LEO is traveling very near you. E.g. right alongside/in front of/behind.

This would be extremely helpful so I don’t have to stare at the app to make sure there’s no issues on the other side of the road. I’d use this app a lot more if the is was available

Hello... love Waze app but have a suggestion. You only have one police officer on “Send A Report.” When you click on the police it makes it stationary at that location. How about you have two options. Police stopped at a certain location or police moving?
Just a suggestion. Keep up the great work!
Sincerely,

adding more options about police location when reporting police, like: "on a bridge" ,"road block"

We need the ability to be able to indicate when a patrol car is on the move. While we might not be able to "tag" them showing their exact movement. We need something that indicates which direction they were last headed. We see them flying up the road behind you and we have no way to tell other drivers to be on the lookout ahead or behind them.

When police are on the other side Waze should make a ping noise so I look down at the screen. will help on two lane roads when radar is facing my way.

Totally agree, this would help avoid situations where people press the Police stationary/hiding button all the way up the highway. The point of this feature isn't really to mark police that are moving but more to avoid as many false positives with people marking police stationary when they are moving.

@smokingtree You’re missing the point entirely. Sure you isn’t a cop? Grasping at breathalyzer straws...

I can report police as being "hidden" OR on the "other side" but I can't report them as being "hidden" AND on the "other side". Please enable multiple location options to be selected so we can report police as being "hidden" AND on the "other side".

Many times I find police cars next to me or just ahead of me in transit. It would be nice to have the option to flag this and Waze to have then an predicted area of +/- 2 miles of the report as a slow down alert zone. It would prevent people from being caught unaware by a cop behind you.

Good idea. If you could repor mobile police vehicles as heading your way or in the opposite direction then other waxers would know that they were on the move and which way. Then could update with input as suggested by the previous person.

Police are learning to not sit in one place since there are so many wazers tagging them. They now troll down the freeway in sections going 10-15 mph under the speed limit waiting on an unsuspecting driver to fly up behind them. They usually stick to a section of road between overpasses, so alert wazers when approaching the general area.

On the police tab you need to have patrolling other side patrolling this side add

so sometimes when people post a " police on side of the road " the police car is really traveling like east or west. It would be nice to post " police ahead traveling west ) so you know they are moving

It would be helpful to all Wazers if we could have a feature added of Police On Road.
How this would work is, let’s say I am driving on any road and I either see a police car ahead of me, behind me or all of a sudden one drives along with me. I would then press the added feature for Polina on Road, and the map would start recording and showing maybe in blue color or any other color, up to the point where I press the button to stop recording the distance/ way we were going, once either I turn onto another street and no longer driving alongside the police car or the police car turns, stops at store, gas station, parking lot, etc. OR driving on the highway, I would press start once I see the cop driving along side me, and then stop once either I get off the highway or the police does or if the plaice car stops and parks to radar.
This way it allows for everyone to know where the police is or has been present recently, and there could be an added feature for the next person who sees the cop car again driving alongside them from point where I stopped because I turned, and they can continue recordingThis allows for drivers ahead to also know if there is police driving same way as them behind them which then cause them to be more cautious and slow down.
Thanks!

It would be nice to report Police patrol cars that are on the road with you.

Brilliant, just thought of it as when the police car is moving in one direction, "blue ahead arrows" like the ones that indicate the speed of traffic, but it would go faster and mybe brighter.
For the convince which helps the driver shoot such a worning quickly, the icon could be a separate indicator on the main map...or .......simply....by shooting the Reports button upward. And everyone ahead receives the fast blue arrow along the way.
Or some other better way, but it would be of great service to must.
