OWL crime alerts

Enhance your awareness and protect your community with the OWL crime alerts application, an essential tool for residents in London seeking to stay informed about local safety concerns. With the capability to deliver instant crime alerts, advice, and updates directly to your device, the platform provides an invaluable layer of security—all with the convenience of no registration and zero login requirements.

Exclusive notifications from participating boroughs, including Barnet, Brent, Ealing, Enfield, and several others, are made readily available straight from police and council officers. Even if your borough isn't directly supported by push alerts, information can still be received via email after a simple, complimentary registration process.

Tailoring its functionality to serve specific needs, by selecting preferred postcode zones, users get real-time alerts relevant to their location or based on the vicinity to saved areas. Customize the experience by controlling the frequency of notifications, ensuring the right amount of information without being overwhelmed.

Backed by the Metropolitan Police Service and Borough Councils, OWL builds on 18 years of dedication to community protection against crimes and scams. Now, with the mobile game, the reach of police alerts is expanded, fostering a safer environment through location-based notifications.

Key features include:

- User-friendly interface indulging immediate access without prior registration.

- Multilingual alert translations catering to the diverse linguistics of the London community.

- Information on local police stations, officers, and community priorities.

- Convenient online crime reporting and access to police contact methods.

- Social media integration for alert sharing.

- Direct communication with alert senders.

- A directory of essential services addressing various community and personal safety issues.

To fully benefit from the capabilities, users are encouraged to permit continuous location access and push notifications upon installation. Rest assured, the privacy is respected; anonymizing location data, and neither the game, the police, nor the councils retrieve or store personal information. This tool is poised to become a vital asset for fostering a safer, well-informed community.
