What is BOOSTAR?

A technology bridge for faster public safety communication

Sudden attacks are often accompanied by panic, fear and confusion. A victim or witness may forget the correct number to call, struggle to explain the location or delay reporting the incident.

BOOSTAR provides a simple emergency-alert and community-reporting platform that helps members of the public reach the appropriate response channel, share distress information and report suspicious activities early.

Important: BOOSTAR does not replace the statutory responsibilities of the Police or any government agency. It helps the public reach authorised authorities more quickly.

Why BOOSTAR is needed

  • Panic, fear and confusion during sudden emergencies.
  • Difficulty remembering the correct emergency number.
  • Uncertainty about the Police Control Room responsible for a location.
  • Difficulty explaining where an incident is happening.
  • Delayed reporting of suspicious activity.
  • Fear of openly reporting criminal or security concerns.

Our Preventive Approach

See it early. Report it early. Respond early.

Community members are often the first to notice suspicious movement, unusual behaviour or a developing threat. BOOSTAR turns those observations into structured reports for authorised review and response.

Key benefits

  • Popularises 112 and Police emergency numbers.
  • Reduces panic-related delays during emergencies.
  • Improves distress-location information.
  • Strengthens cooperation between communities and security agencies.
  • Provides structured information for security planning.

Help build safer communities through early reporting.

Use BOOSTAR responsibly for genuine safety concerns, authorised reporting and real emergencies.
