Personal Safety App
The Peoplesafe SOS App is a personal security app like no other. Backed by the 24/7 Peoplesafe Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC), any alarm raised through the SOS App will be answered by a trained professional ready to react immediately, unlike similar personal safety apps on the market which rely on family and friends.
How it works
Designed with simplicity in mind, if a user feels threatened or unsafe they hold down the red ‘SOS’ button for one second. This will raise an alarm to our ARC who will be listening in under 3 seconds, on average (2021).
The Alarm Controller will automatically gain access to the user’s GPS location in the event of an alarm, enabling them to send the emergency services directly to them, should this be required. The Alarm Controller will monitor the alarm for a minimum of 10 seconds before speaking, in order to assess the situation and ensure it is safe to intervene.
Why Peoplesafe SOS is Better Than Free Safety Apps
While free personal safety apps are proven to increase confidence and feelings of safety, unfortunately, they rely on family and friends to react in an emergency situation and lack the ability to connect to the emergency services directly.
Advantages of a paid-for personal safety app:
- 100% of alarms answered by trained professionals 24/7 to respond when needed most
- Enterprise-grade service that can be provided at scale
- Get help faster than 999 with direct access to police control rooms
- Immediate help direct to the user’s exact location using GPS coordinates
- Audio evidence recorded from alarm that can be used in court
- Securely held personal data to prevent data breaches
Share Location & Share Journey
Location sharing lets the user share their current location with a preferred contact. This can be done via SMS or an alternative message system (e.g., Facebook Messenger or WhatsApp).
Within the message received by the preferred contact there will be a URL link to Google Maps with the app user’s location. Users can choose to share their location multiple times throughout their journey which will give the nominated contact an indication of the route they are travelling.
Shared locations are also saved on the Peoplesafe platform and are made available to our ARC Controllers in the event of an alarm.
