Easing Demand

The tangible benefits, over and above giving the users a real sense of safety and method of evidence gathering, we need to look at actual usage.

On average per 1,000 users, Hollie Guard handles 822 incidents per annum, which otherwise would have had to be responded to by the police.

I really welcome the work of the Hollie Gazzard Trust in developing the ‘Hollie Guard Extra’ app, which makes use of new technology to bring reassurance to victims and survivors and provide round-the-clock and immediate response to an alert or incident. I am particularly encouraged that evidence collected by the app is admissible in court, vital if we are to bring perpetrators to justice.

For too long, a lack of awareness of and stigma around speaking about domestic abuse has stopped workplaces from putting in place the kind of help that survivors so desperately need

…Hollie Guard, is such a brilliant, accessible, user friendly app that helps to put some control back into the hands of the user. It’s easy and intuitive to use and is helping everyone who uses it to get on with their lives with a little electronic Guardian angel by their sides…

Cllr. Jenny FordeCabinet Member for Health & Wellbeing, Cotswold District Council

Hollie Guard Extra is a very cost-effective way to help safeguard victims of domestic abuse. The cost to protect an individual using the 24-hour monitoring service is less than a fifth of the cost of traditional monitoring alarms. Using Hollie Guard Extra means that 5 times more victims of domestic abuse can be protected.

Gemma PhoenixDomestic Abuse Solutions Team

“The Hollie Guard is a fantastic example of how technology can be used positively in order to protect some of the most vulnerable in society. As Commissioner I am committed to protecting the most vulnerable, therefore I fully support all that the Hollie Gazzard Trust is looking to achieve. By working together, raising awareness and identifying ways to prevent abuse from ever happening we will stop the number of victims suffering from this terrible crime.”

Hollie Guard takes personal safety seriously

Alert

By simply holding down the hexagon button for 3-6 seconds, this sets off an alert and activates the phone’s camera, sending a message and recording to the your pre-defined emergency contacts. With Hollie Guard Extra, these Alerts are sent to a 24/7 police-approved monitoring centre too.

Meeting Timer

The Meeting Timer allows users to feel safe when going into a potentially dangerous meeting or performing a dangerous task. A user set timer will countdown until deactivated meaning the user has to mark themselves as safe, otherwise raising an alert.

Evidence Gathering

When raising an Alert, Hollie Guard can automatically start your smartphone’s camera and microphone to capture real-time evidence of the situation around you. Your emergency contacts can access this evidence real-time, as well as being saved in the cloud for later use.

Journey

Journey allows your users to set a start and end point. The app then automatically monitors your journey and alerts your nominated contacts and once you safely arrive or trigger an Alert.

Privacy

Choose when and when not to share your location. Our smart phone app makes it clear when the app can access your location in times of need. Control what and when you share your data.

Hollie Guard Extra

With Hollie Guard Extra, you can have the reassurance that a professional, police-approved response team are there when you need them. If your emergency contacts are unable to respond, then a professional team will be there for you.
