What is CivicGuard and what do we do?
Our Story
CivicGuard was created from a profound belief that interfacing with law enforcement should be straightforward, immediate, and accessible for everyone. Recognizing the challenges faced by many in the UK, where approximately 1 in 13 people report speaking limited or no English, 90 per cent of Gen-Z's reportedly feel anxious about talking to someone over the phone, the need for a more inclusive, efficient means of communication became clear. Traditional methods like dialing 999 or 101 can be daunting for those with language barriers, in delicate situations where speaking aloud is not possible, or for individuals with anxiety and other conditions that make phone calls difficult.
​
Our solution addresses the significant gap between calling 999/101 and current online crime reporting tools that are cumbersome and lengthy which combined results in crimes going unreported and communities at risk.
With CivicGuard, we harness the ubiquitous nature of smartphone apps—tools already integral to our daily communications, shopping, and entertainment—to revolutionize how the public interacts with police forces. This platform not only makes it easier to report crimes and anti-social behavior but also enhances the police's ability to respond effectively thanks to pre-verified identities and access to live user locations.
​
Unlike other apps that operate independently of law enforcement with unreliable information, CivicGuard establishes a direct link to police authorities, allowing them to guide the narrative and protect the most vulnerable in our communities.
This initiative isn’t just about technology; it’s about fostering a safer, more connected society where everyone can feel secure and supported in their interactions with law enforcement. CivicGuard is our answer to a growing need for a reliable, user-friendly, and police-integrated platform that puts the power of safety back into the hands of the community.
