Alexo: Street Safety

Alexo is London's community safety network — a live situational-awareness map built by the people walking its streets. When something feels off, locals drop an anonymous signal covering a roughly 200 m zone, so everyone nearby can stay aware.

IMPORTANT — WHAT ALEXO IS (AND ISN'T)
Alexo is an independent community app. It is not a government app and does not represent, and is not affiliated with, the Metropolitan Police, the UK government, or any government entity or law enforcement agency. Nothing you post on Alexo is sent to the police. Alexo is not a crime-reporting service — it is a community awareness tool, like a neighbourhood watch in your pocket. For emergencies, always call 999. To report a crime, contact your local police directly.

WHAT YOU CAN DO
• Live map of nearby signals, brighter where more people have flagged the same thing
• Signal an event in seconds — theft, robbery, safety or property — always anonymous
• Community confidence: multiple independent signals build consensus, so you know what's credible
• Area report: how an area compares to typical London, with official police open data (from data.police.uk) shown for historical context
• Plan ahead: check a route or a place before you go, including for a future date
• SOS: share your live location with trusted contacts of your choice
• Alerts: an optional heads-up when a nearby area is unusually active

DATA SOURCES
Historical crime statistics shown in Alexo come from the UK government's official police open data portal: https://data.police.uk (used under the Open Government Licence v3.0). Live signals come from Alexo users and are independent of any official source.

Alexo is anonymous by design. You never create an account, and signals are ~200 m radius zones, not pinpoints — no naming, no doxxing, no witch-hunts. The more Londoners who use it, the better it works for everyone.

Not a substitute for the emergency services. For emergencies, always call 999.
