Community policing brought closer to the people.
BOOSTAR is PCRC and VGN contribution to the Whole-of-Society Approach to National Security Strategy. It helps citizens reach emergency support faster during sudden crime situations.
Distress is often delayed before response begins.
Crime can happen suddenly. Victims may be confused, afraid, unable to speak, out of airtime, or unable to remember the right number. BOOSTAR reduces this gap by helping people trigger emergency support quickly.
Auto Emergency Dialing
Helps the public quickly access 112 and the nearest Police Control Room number during sudden danger.
Distress Location Sharing
Shares distress location with DPO, PCRC community heads, VGN commanders and authorised response structures.
Community Response Support
Enables grassroots security structures to escalate and assist before police arrival.
Drone Response Escalation
Supports authorised distress location sharing for police safe-highway and military drone operations where available.
One button. Multiple alerts. Faster response.
BOOSTAR does not replace 112, Police, PCRC, VGN or government security agencies. It boosts access to them.

Emergency Number Popularisation
BOOSTAR helps popularise 112, Police Control Room numbers, DPO access and approved response channels.
Pilot, test, validate and scale.
The implementation model starts from PCRC Zone 7 and expands through structured endorsement, stakeholder engagement and operational testing.
Use 112. Use emergency numbers. Use BOOSTAR.
Government will protect you. The community will support you. Together, we can build a safer Nigeria.
