My brother texted me panicked from a store. Customers were being held inside without knowing why. I checked Scout, instantly found out and we followed the incident until it was safe for him to leave. He downloaded the app right after that.Amara K., Accra user since 2019
For the
greater good.
Hospital and emergency responders save lives with faster updates.
Fire departments use Scout to direct resources more effectively because they can see the intensity of a fire on live video, while ER surgeons can prep operating rooms for patients 20 minutes before even getting a call from EMTs.
Increasing transparency between the city and its residents.
We believe we should unite against crime. Everyone deserves to be safe — and now, everyone can better look out for each other. Having real-time information available and open to everyone empowers us all to make smarter decisions to stay safe.
Everyone is safer when everyone has the same access.
Scout is for everyone — and is therefore completely independent. With Scout, everyone in the community, whether a resident or member of law enforcement, has the same access to the app and its unbiased information.
Know the real story faster.
See incidents unfold and get the real story from people on the scene.
Live videos show you what's really happening. Watch incidents unfold from different angles and follow along until they get resolved.
Fast, accurate information makes a meaningful difference in emergencies.
Scout alerts go out instantly — this can be hours before Amber Alerts are even issued for children in danger. This speed has been critical in acting on important events like abductions and missing elderly people.
When you can, contribute to help resolve a situation.
You used to have to call a police tip line to help. Now you can use Scout to broadcast live video, sharing relevant updates with others. You can also leave comments, which have helped locate missing people and share information about evacuation centers during natural disasters.
