Grange Association recommends Safeland, the first fully collaborative safety app.

(Forgive some of this being in Swedish)

If we made more use of this as a community, someone could instantly report a break-in, vandalism or car theft and others' smartphones would alert neighbours immediately. This would be at a level above our successful Whatsapp groups, Neighbourhood Watch groups etc ... and be available information to anyone registered.

I think it's time to "promote" Safeland again, after the burglaries of the other night !

There are three levels of groups (communities) :

Public Group :
In a public group "anyone can join and it will show up in search results" - we have Edinburgh EH9

Locked Group :
In a locked group "everyone can find and request to join the group, but requires an approval from a group administrator" - we have Grange Association Area (Edinburgh)

Private Group :
A private group "will never be visible in search results and users will need an invitation from a group administrator in order to join the group" - there is at least one in our area, but … can't tell you what it is as it's private !

(we can be fortunate at times that there is "nothing to report" in our area - whereas there probably are things happening .. just to let you see what the Safeland map looks like, populated, here is an example screenshot)

Just to say ... Safeland still exists and is being used sometimes by GA members.
