Hola, amigos:

¿Cómo dirían «concerned citizen» en español? La frase es «The police officer was stopped by a concerned citizen who claimed she saw a man selling drugs in the neighborhood.»

Estoy interesado en saber lo que se dice en todas partes.

He visto ciudadano preocupado, ciudadano responsable y ciudadano comprometido, pero no estoy seguro.

Gracias de antemano.
