So, is calling 311 the only way to report on such an important yet simple (not really requiring verbal explanation nor personal data about the witness) subject? I would never call a telephone unless the rats or whatever were actually threatening a life and I were sure I can't manage on my own. C'mon, it's 2018, people are using apps (anonymously if possible) and texting each other, if somebody actually calls me I expect them to be either dying or trying to sell me something I don't need! Why not just make an app that lets you take a picture and send it with a timestamp and the location data (and nothing else) embedded straight to the server?

They really try pretty hard to make it easy already. "311" is available as a web app, native mobile app, and automated SMS service. I bet you could tweet photos to @dohdc as well.

You can create 311 requests online at 311.dc.gov or use a couple different apps.

No need to even make an app, just make www.DCratsighting.com and have an upload button to upload the image with full EXIF.
