SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (WGGB) -- When it comes to keeping your family safe, a useful tool may be in your pocket.

There are several applications available for the iPhone, including ones that can find Level 3 sex offenders in your neighborhood or near your child's school and applications that can alert you to active Amber Alerts.

The application for sex offenders uses your iPhone's GPS to pinpoint the sex offenders in your immediate vicinity. You can then expand your search area and look for offenders in other areas.

Amy Fields is the parent of two young children, and she lives in Ludlow. She was interested in learning more about who is living in her neighborhood, and said she would find the application helpful.
