Frontline.

Police have Airwave. Now frontline workers have OnSiren.

What We Are

A coordination network for private security.

There are around 460,000 licensed security officers working across the UK. They guard venues, patrol estates, supervise doors, and respond when things go wrong. Until now, they’ve worked as individuals. Each on their own site, their own shift, with no shared picture of what’s happening on the street next door.

OnSiren connects them to each other, to the businesses that deploy them, and to the law enforcement agencies that work alongside them. One network, in real time.

The AI partner for the frontline.

We’re building Alpha One, the AI sitting inside OnSiren, designed to work alongside every officer on every shift. Alpha One learns the pulse of an area through incidents, news, and police reports. It provides support and guidance to the officers working it.

  • BRIEFINGS

    A picture of the patch before every shift. Who’s on it, what’s happened, what’s coming.

  • ALERTS & REPORTING

    Alerts routed to the officers who need them. Incidents logged by voice, not typing.

  • WELFARE

    Continuous check-ins through the shift. The network knows when an officer goes quiet.
