Your safety is our number one priority. Whether you’re reporting an incident or checking alerts nearby, here are a few tips to protect yourself while using StreetBuzz.

Stay Informed. Stay Smart. Stay Safe.

๐Ÿ”” Reporting Incidents:

  • Always Call 000 First โ€“ In any emergency, your first step should be to alert police, ambulance, or fire services.
  • Post Details, Not Drama โ€“ Stick to the facts. Donโ€™t speculate or accuse unless you have evidence.
  • ‘Donโ€™t Be A Hero Mate’ โ€“ Don’t put yourself in danger. Never chase or confront criminals. Let professionals handle it.

๐Ÿ“ฑ Using the App:

  • Enable Notifications โ€“ Get real-time alerts for incidents in your area.
  • Filter by Area โ€“ Stay aware of whatโ€™s happening around your suburb or city with just one tap.
  • Verify Sources โ€“ Look for verified user badges when reading posts.

๐Ÿ‘ฅ Protecting Yourself:

  • Think Twice Before Posting โ€“ if you think that creating your post will put yourself or your family in danger, itโ€™s probably not a good idea to post it. We do have a feature for creating posts and alerts anonymously. Although, we do not recommend anonymous users post highly controversial content. Our priority is to maintain the integrity of the platform. Users that are verified are far more credible when posting sensitive or controversial posts.ย 

๐Ÿ‘ Exposing Crime Responsibly

  • You can post images or footage of criminal activity, but ensure it’s done lawfully and respectfully.
  • Do not share full names, home addresses, or close-up images of minors โ€” unless officially released by authorities or you have clear public interest justification.
  • Blur faces of uninvolved bystanders or minors where possible, especially in sensitive cases.
  • We support transparency and community awareness, but always prioritise safety, accuracy, and legality.
