Memeza Community Policing Alarm
Memeza developed South Africa’s very first public alarm system, which enables GBV victims, or any vulnerable person to at the push of a button let their family, friends, neighbours, SAPS and Community Policing Forum Members know if they are in trouble. The device works via SMS, communicates the victims address and details to the linked response network.
The Community Policing Alarm has proven to reduce murder rate by 9% and Sexual offences by 26% during an extensive pilot deployed in Diepsloot, JHB. See below testimonials from users of the alarm system:
Memeza Personal Alarm
The Memeza personal alarm is a deterrent. It is a small hand held device that makes a sound of 140 decibels. This small device has proven to reduce Sexual Offences up to 67% where deployed in large quantities in vulnerable communities.
Memeza SaferCity Mobile Panic Application
This affordable panic application provides victims with security and medical response at the touch of a button. This mobile application combines the latest tech that helps link a victim to family and friends, as well as South Africa’s largest private security response network. It is not only a GBV panic button, but also a tool that GBV victims can use to chat to support networks and Social workers.
