Innovative Apps: Rat Out Your Neighbor Anonymously: The town of Gilbert, Arizona, just released its first app which is described in iTunes as a “Citizen Engagement app for the Town of Gilbert Arizona.” MyGilbert is filled with the typical government app fare such as official information, services directory and events. However what makes MyGilbert stand out is the integrated ability to anonymously report code violations.

Gilbert Mayor John Lewis
Patrick Banger, Town Manager, on the Gilbert website. said: ”Gilbert is an educated, engaged community. We are known for our great quality of life, our safe environment, our low cost for services, our burgeoning medical industry, and a record for encouraging citizen engagement.”
The town’s call for citizens to engage is apparent with MyGilbert, which invites you to turn in your neighbors if they are in violation of town codes. For example, if you have a neighbor with barking dogs all you need to do is open the app, select the button for reporting issues and select the correct code violation from the list.
