App reveals the most dangerous places to walk in Dorset A SAFETY app has been helping residents choose better routes by avoiding high crime zones in Dorset. The WalkSafe app, which can be downloaded on your smartphone, alerts users when they enter high crime zones and has grown in popularity in the wake of Sarah Everard s murder. The map shows users reports of crime taken from monthly police reports in the area, including sexual assault, mugging and knife crime.
