OnSiren is a real-time threat intelligence and communication network app for UK security officers. The platform provides push-to-talk connectivity with nearby officers, a live channel displaying national threat levels and local crime data, and an AI partner called Alpha One that delivers shift briefings and alerts. It aims to give frontline security personnel the same pre-shift briefings that police receive, creating a more informed and connected security frontline.

Problem
Security officers often go on shift without a comprehensive briefing on local threats, crime patterns, or relevant incidents, leaving them underprepared compared to police who receive structured pre-shift intelligence. Communication between officers typically relies on fragmented radio channels or consumer messaging apps, which lack a unified, location-aware channel for sharing alerts and coordinating responses in real time.
Solution
OnSiren provides a dedicated mobile app that equips security officers with shared situational awareness and a real-time communication channel. The app opens on a live channel that displays the national threat level, crime picture for the officer's ground, and enables push-to-talk communication with nearby officers, heard like a radio. Alerts regarding emergencies, lookouts, and advice arrive as notifications in a single time-stamped log, and officers can raise alerts that immediately reach the officers around them. The integrated AI partner, Alpha One, scans local feeds, police appeals, and officer reports to deliver a daily brief at sign-on, covering nearby incidents, weather, and things to watch for, while also monitoring for changes and alerting officers working alone.
Target Audience
Primary customers are frontline security officers and security companies operating in the UK, including licensed security personnel working across venues, retail, and private security firms.
