Flare Report App
Added on 24 November 2022
The office of the Police Fire and Crime Commissioner is today launching the Flare Report App that allows women to report, anonymously and quickly, any incidents or behaviour that make them feel unsafe when they are out and about in Northamptonshire. Police will collate and analyse the reports made, so that problem areas can be identified and action taken to improve those areas where people feel unsafe.
"This is a great service that we hope will reach as many people in the county as possible. We want to encourage as many people as possible to download the app and to cascade through their own contacts and networks. Flare Report can be downloaded to Apple or Android devices.
Women and girls can use the app to report incidents and behaviour that are inappropriate and make them feel unsafe, such as cat calling, comments or touching, street harassment or other threatening behaviour."
Crimes can be reported on Flare Report but not if they need an immediate police response.
