BlueLine Grid is a company that provides a mobile communication and mass notification platform built for interagency communication between civil service employees and private sector security teams. BlueLine Grid was created by Bill Bratton, the 42nd Commissioner of the NYPD (under 109th Mayor Bill de Blasio), formerly the 38th Commissioner of NYPD, and Chief of LAPD[2] with co-founders Jack Weiss, and David Riker. The company was founded in January 2013,[3] while the BlueLine Grid mobile app was launched in May 2014. The platform does not require registration to join, but verification is necessary for public employees or partners to gain access to connections and information in the Grid.[4]
