Hollie Guard is a free mobile app that turns your mobile phone into a personal safety device. Named after, Hollie Gazzard, a 20yr old hairdresser from Gloucester who was murdered by her ex-partner in 2014.

Features.
- A simple shake or tap activates Hollie Guard.

- On activation, Hollie Guard will notify chosen trusted contacts with user location, audio and video evidence.

- Two modes:
1.Deterrent Mode.
Makes it clear to persons in your surrounding area that an Alert has been raised. Anyone who looks at the phone will see that GPS location is being monitored and audio/video evidence uploaded. Phone will display ‘alert raised’.

2.Stealth Mode.
Stealth mode activates a silent alert with no obvious signs of activation to keep the alert as discreet as possible. The phone will put a wallpaper up to look as though it’s on your home screen.

- Journey feature: Set your start & end destinations before setting off. Your emergency contacts will be notified once you arrive safely at your chosen destination. An alert will be automatically triggered if you don't arrive at your destination within the time parameters you've sent. Every 5 seconds the platform will update your precise location based on your speed & movement activity to identify where you are once an alert has been raised.

- Meeting feature: Set designated duration for a meeting & alert emergency contacts if you don’t mark yourself as safe before the time has lapsed. Once the timer expires an alert will be raised automatically, enabling your emergency contacts to pin-point where you are so they can call for help or request an emergency response.

- Reports feature: Users can quickly & easily record an incident with supporting photo evidence that is automatically categorised, time stamped and geo tagged then saved to the Hollie Guard server.

- Man down feature: Automatically detects if you have a sudden fall or have stopped moving for a period of time

A woman called 999 last Saturday at just before midnight…she said very little but a man’s voice could be heard in the background 🤔

She asked for police, but the line dropped out before she was put through to us.
We tried to call her back but these attempts failed and worried for her safety, we visited her home in Wisbech - where a woman with an injury to her eye opened the door 😞

We arrested one man on suspicion of causing actual bodily harm (ABH) and has been released on conditional bail while investigations continue.

Did you know that pressing 55 after calling 999 alerts police operators that you need help but are in a situation where you can't talk? 👀 📱

Pressing 55 lets the 999 operator know your call is genuine, and they will try to track your location.

If you can't speak, listen carefully to the questions and instructions from our demand hub call agents so they can assess your call and arrange help.
