Know what's happening on your streets — as it happens.
WatchTower is Australia's community safety network. Thousands of members report suspicious activity, theft, break-ins and public safety incidents in real time — so you hear about trouble on your street before it reaches your door.
LIVE SAFETY MAP
See what's happening around you on an interactive map — community reports and verified emergency incidents, tracked around the clock across Australia. Filter by recency, tap any marker for details, and watch your area in real time.
LIVE SAFETY SCORE
Every area gets a live safety rating from 0–100, weighted by what's actually been reported nearby and how recently. Check the score before you park, walk, or house-hunt.
INSTANT LOCAL ALERTS
Set alert zones around home, work, school — anywhere you care about — and get a push notification the moment something is reported inside them. No spam, no noise from the other side of the country. Just what matters to you.
REPORT IN SECONDS
Spot something suspicious? Report it in a few taps with photos and location. Smart AI filtering keeps personal details out and keeps reports clean, so the community stays informed and safe.
PERSONAL SAFETY SUITE
SOS — one press shares your live location with your Trusted Circle instantly
Walk With Me — timed check-ins for late walks; miss a check-in and your circle is alerted with your live trail
Followed Mode — feel like someone's behind you? Start a session and your circle sees every step until you're safe
Trusted Circle — your chosen people can follow your live location during a session, even if your screen is locked
Route Safety — check the safety picture along your planned route before you head out
Discreet Mode & Quick Exit — designed with domestic violence safety in mind
COMMUNITY FEED & DAILY WRAPS
A live feed of what members are seeing, plus regular wrap-ups of the last 24 hours across the country — the patterns, the hotspots, and what to watch for tonight.
EMERGENCY COVERAGE
Verified incidents from official emergency feeds nationwide, plus police helicopter activity tracking — all placed on your map automatically.
BUILT FOR PRIVACY
Anonymous reporting. AI-powered personal-information filtering. Your location is only collected while you use the app, and live sharing only runs during a safety session you start — it stops the moment the session ends.
