The Axon Security app gives you access to security at your fingertips. Download the app, subscribe, and press the panic button on your app when in an emergency. It will notify the closest responder to attend to your situation across South Africa.  Personal safety is a priority for all. We all value our loved ones, and unfortunately, we live in a world where at some point, we might face life-threatening situations. To ensure they are protected should this occur, we offer quality, on-demand and on-the-go security service using advancements in mobile technology. We designed a solution that links you to qualified responders to assist in your moment of need without unnecessary delays and to save critical time in life-threatening situations. When you are in trouble, we know there is no time first to receive a call from a call centre that will still need to call the nearest qualified responder from a limited pool linked to that call centre. Instead, we immediately notify and route the most immediate responder from our partner companies to you. All responders are benchmarked on their response times and rated by you, the more alert to help us guarantee that we’ll always be ready to answer your call and assist you when you need it most.
