Are you using #Buzzer?

Buzzer is a free community safety app – working with you to keep Observatory safer.

The app connects Obs and makes the community safer by introducing simple, smart and social incident communication and response.

There are 2 ways to use the app:
*SOS – press and hold for 3 seconds – for use when you are feeling unsafe, are seeing a crime or are a victim of crime.
*Report – 8 different categories – making it easy for you to report issues related to lights, drains, water, emergency services or suspicious movements of people or vehicles.

You can download the app here: www.buzzer.co.za #KeepingObsSafer #ObsSafety #ObservatoryCapeTown #ILoveObs
