Technology with Integrity Designed to work in conjunction with the Safe-Citizens Public Safety Platform™, this app will save lives. www.safe-citizens.com Managed by the relevant Emergency Services in affiliated cities, the platform is designed to keep innocent citizens safe in the event of an emergency- and has some pretty nifty tech "under the bonnet". Anonymity This entire system is designed to be 100% anonymous. Location The system will update your current position without storing your location history. Notifications In the event of an incident emergency services will be able to send you key safety information, based on your proximity to danger. Battery Unlike conventional technology our location engine will only use ~1% of your battery per day with normal device use. Speed Messages are sent using trusted push notification technology which is faster than SMS and therefore more likely to reach you in real time. Relevant Messages are only sent to devices in area around the incident. Secure Communications are sent using secure notification technology.
