10-21 Police Phone by Callyo Launches Free App Connecting Community and Police

CARSON CITY, Nevada, Oct. 21, 2015 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ – Committed to building citizen trust, Callyo a US based mobile law enforcement communications company, announces the release of 10-21 a free mobile app available exclusively to all law enforcement personnel in the United States and Canada. The 10-21 app, radio code for “make a phone call” provides an innovative way to encourage safe, convenient dialogue with police officers. The free service provides increased efficiencies to communicate directly with law personnel. Its beauty is in its simplicity, enabling a safe and trusted method to talk with officers while ensuring a continuum of dialogue between the citizen and officer or case team. 10-21 will reduce call volumes into police call centers that currently redirect calls to officers, in-turn improving capacity and efficiencies at local stations.

Citizen benefits include enhanced response time and a safe confidential means to return calls directly to case officers. The 10-21 app is downloaded directly to the officers’ phones, instantly enabling officers to make free calls that appear to citizens from local (not blocked) numbers without ever compromising their personal cell number. Regardless of call origin, officers’ numbers appear from a local number, encouraging both call pick-up and an easy means to return the officer’s call. 10-21 will enhance community relationships by providing a trusted direct link to the police officer.

The Callback Request Push Notification on 10-21 provides citizens the most direct way to reach an officer, while ensuring the officer’s safety and well-being is not jeopardized. The downloadable app is accessible to all law enforcement following confirmation of their role. The technology ensures integration with the officer’s current devices without requiring device upgrades or incremental hardware expenditures. Calls do not infringe on officers mobile plans by using a VoIP data connection logged within the app. The real-time push notification informs an officer that a citizen has reached out, without comprising officer safety or adverse consequences resulting from distractions to current obligations. Citizens receive confirmation of their request, facilitating their peace of mind. Officers will not fear missing critical calls with follow through occurring in a safe and timely manner. This service encourages accessibility while creating the best possible experience for both parties.

Callyo believes it is their duty to provide this free app to help rebuild and maintain trust between law enforcement and the communities they serve through opening the lines of communication. The initial release of the product experienced great uptake, with Chief Anthony Holloway of the St. Petersburg Police Department in Florida being the first agency to adopt the 10-21 app, recognizing the benefits of modern policing technology.

Voto Latino Convenes More Than 300 Latino Millennials at 7th Power Summit in Silicon Valley

October 20, 2015

WASHINGTON, Oct. 20, 2015 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Voto Latino, the leading non-profit organization empowering Latino Millennials and engaging them in the civic process, gathered more than 300 Latino Millennials at its seventh VL Power Summit. The event was held at Stanford University, October 16-17, in collaboration with the Center for Comparative Studies in Race and Ethnicity.

“Voto Latino is making good on the promise chanted by so many over the last decade: ‘Hoy marchamos, mañana votamas (today we march, tomorrow we vote).’ Tomorrow is here,” said Tomas Jimenez, Associate Professor of Sociology and Comparative Studies in Race and Ethnicity, on why he chose to host Voto Latino at Stanford University.

“We held this year’s Power Summit in Silicon Valley at a pivotal time for the Latino community. Our community is under attack, making it all the more crucial to convene hundreds of Latino Millennials, and to set the stage not only for 2016, but the years that follow,” said Maria Teresa Kumar, President & CEO of Voto Latino. “Power Summit gave them the tools they need to challenge the naysayers and continue being the leaders that our community needs.”

“Young Latinos and young people in general hold the power,” said Wilmer Valderrama, co-chair of Voto Latino’s artist coalition, on the importance of this demographic. “They have the ability to actually talk to their parents and reeducate their parents, who have sometimes been removed from the political process and from the voting process. They single-handedly can create change.”

VL Power Summit kicked off Friday evening at Electronic Arts (EA). Participants toured the EA campus and heard from a panel of EA developers that included Crystal Sanchez, the company’s highest-ranking Latina. She shared her journey from a graduate in Chicano studies to working for one of the biggest video gaming companies in the nation.

On day two, VL convened more than 300 Latino Millennials to educate, engage, and empower them through workshops and training sessions from industry experts with Buzzfeed, Fusion, Microsoft, FWD.us and more. Participants were also called upon to serve as VL Insiders and continue building momentum and activating change in their communities once they returned home. Notable speakers included:

Antonio Villaraigosa, former Los Angeles mayor
Jose Acosta, president of publics affairs for UPS
Jose Antonio Vargas, filmmaker, journalist and activist

“We can’t change the politics about immigration without changing the conversation about this issue,” said Vargas during a conversation on race in today’s society. “You’re living in the biggest time for intersectionality.” Further, in the era of black lives matter, LGBT rights, women’s rights, and climate change. He said it is important for them to become activists and advocates for the issues they care about.

Avon also celebrated the launch of Beauty for a Purpose, a new global brand statement focused on the company’s commitment to empowering Avon Representatives and women around the world through beauty and financial independence. The Avon Representatives in attendance are starring in this new branding effort, which is largely powered through digital channels, tapping into high-reach editorial, video and social media platforms. The Representatives shared their personal stories of empowerment; Avon Representative Orenthia Ricketts credited Avon for helping to achieve her goals, noting, “I started this journey years ago just to make some extra money, and instead it changed my life. The idea behind Beauty for a Purpose really speaks to the heart of Avon and what its Representatives stand for.”

Additionally, Dr. Paul Goss shared how the work he is currently doing with the Avon Foundation for Women is improving cancer care for patients around the globe. Goss discussed his leadership of the Avon Breast Cancer Clinical Scholars Program, a scholarship program that trains global breast cancer specialists at leading U.S. breast cancer centers, as well as twice-monthly Live Tumor Boards, which bring together hundreds of doctors across the globe to review and discuss complex cases. “Doctors love nothing better than talking to their colleagues about patient care,” says Avon Foundation Scientific Advisory Board Chairman Dr. Paul Goss. “So, I’ve created a beehive of cancer communication among oncologists, which will help improve patient outcomes and create best practices for breast cancer care worldwide.”

Last week, Fergie attended another event celebrating breast cancer awareness month – the Avon Foundation for Women’s annual Tribute Reception, “The Breast Party of the Year.” The event celebrated the Avon Breast Cancer Centers of Excellence, the top fundraisers of AVON 39 The Walk to End Breast Cancer, and a new campaign launched by Avon for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, #BeABreastFriend, which urges women to support one another’s breast health by making a pledge to openly discuss exams and doctor visits. Fergie is also featured on Avon’s new blog, AllFortheBreast.org that will serve as a resource to help women feel empowered when seeking access to quality care.

The Avon Breast Cancer Crusade, which launched in 1992 and is led by the U.S.-based Avon Foundation for Women, has placed Avon and the Avon Foundation for Women at the forefront of the fight against breast cancer; today, Avon is the leading corporate supporter of the cause globally. Avon breast cancer programs in over 50 countries have contributed more than $800 million to conduct research and advance access to quality care for all, regardless of a person’s ability to pay. Avon awards funding to beneficiaries ranging from leading cancer centers to community-based grassroots breast health programs to support breast cancer research and access to care.
