Code red
If you feel threatened or unsafe, or if there’s a medical emergency, open up our app and hit the red button
In a nutshell
Code red is an app-based service that’ll get the closest armed response car or emergency service to you ASAP when you tap the red button. It aims to provide you with peace of mind in situations whenever you feel threatened or unsafe, or when there’s a medical emergency. You’re covered in all major metros and sub-metros and many outlying areas.
How it works
- If you feel threatened or unsafe, or if there’s a medical emergency, open up our app and tap on ‘Code red: Tap and hold’.
- The code red control room will dispatch the closest linked armed response car to your GPS location, and will then call you to confirm the activation and request additional emergency services, like the police or an ambulance, if necessary.
- The control room and all responding cars will automatically receive your relevant identification and personal information.
- You’re not covered for any costs charged by any emergency service that’s dispatched as a result of you activating code red.
