Guardian Community™ · A Guardian AI module

Your department’s own app, on every resident’s phone.

A branded mobile app for your police department — not a listing inside a shared one. Push alerts, anonymous tips that residents can actually follow, tracked reporting, recruiting, and answers drawn from your own published information. Runs for a whole city just as easily.

The problem

The community app you have forgets the resident the moment they hit send.

Most department apps are fire-and-forget — a form with no account, no status, no history. The resident re-enters everything every time and never hears back, and the tip that mattered lands in an inbox nobody owns. Guardian Community connects the app to the same platform that runs your lines, so a submission is routed, tracked, and answered on the device it came from.

What ships today

The modern alternative to a standalone department app.

Your agency’s own app

One codebase, your listing — your name, icon, colors, and badge. Add or change content from the Guardian console without waiting on an app-store release.

Lock-screen alerts

Push straight to enrolled devices by topic — alerts, road, weather, events, and department-specific channels residents choose to follow.

Automatic severe-weather warnings

National Weather Service alerts reach subscribed devices automatically, and the app shows local conditions.

Anonymous tips that get answered

Residents submit a tip without giving up their identity and still receive status updates through the device. Police-routed tips stay isolated from general staff views.

Report with photo and location

Residents describe the problem and add a photo or a location; Guardian routes it to the right unit behind the scenes — no org chart to learn.

Tracked to resolution

Every submission gets a reference and moves through received, in-progress, and resolved in My Reports — the opposite of a form that vanishes.

Recruiting built in

“Join our team,” open positions, and hiring content managed by your staff, in front of the residents who already follow you.

An assistant grounded in your information

Answers only from your department’s approved FAQs, contacts, and content. When it can’t answer, the question becomes a visible knowledge gap for staff — never the open internet.

Contact ladder with a 911 guardrail

Department pages lead with a clear 911 guardrail for emergencies and sensible non-emergency options below it.

Console content + analytics

Staff manage departments, contacts, FAQs, links, events, and routing, and review reach, report categories, time-to-resolution, and assistant gaps.

How it works

Brand. Publish. Reach. Resolve.

Brand

We skin the app to your agency — name, icon, colors, badge, departments, and contacts — from per-tenant config, not a custom build.

Publish

Your staff manage FAQs, contacts, links, events, and recruiting content from the Guardian console, live without an app-store release.

Reach

Residents install, follow your agency, and get lock-screen alerts and automatic weather warnings on the topics they choose.

Resolve

Tips and reports route to the right unit, move through My Reports, and get answered on the device — with analytics for command.

FAQ

Guardian Community — answered.

Is this our own app, or a listing inside a shared one?

It’s your agency’s app. Residents install Guardian Community and follow your department; the app takes on your name, colors, badge, and content. Dedicated app-store listings can be evaluated for larger agencies.

Do residents have to enroll to get alerts?

They choose the agency they follow and the topics they want. Severe-weather warnings can reach subscribed devices automatically.

Can a tip stay anonymous and still get a reply?

Yes. The anonymous workflow uses a device-linked reference instead of the resident’s identity, so your staff can send status updates without ever learning who submitted it. Police-routed tips are restricted to the police workflow.

Does the assistant pull answers from the internet?

No. It answers only from the content your agency manages in Guardian. If the answer isn’t there, it says so and points the resident to the right contact — and flags the gap for staff.

Can a whole city use it, not just a police department?

Yes. It’s built department-first, but the same app runs city divisions and services just as easily.

Is it on Android yet?

The iPhone build is live in pilot through TestFlight. Android is on the roadmap.
