Look out for suspicious or missing persons and help make your neighborhood safer.

Features & Capabilities

Burgernet is a free, anonymous app designed to enhance neighborhood safety by enabling users to watch for suspicious behavior and missing persons. When an incident such as theft, burglary, robbery, or a missing person arises nearby, users receive timely action messages. Nearly 40% of Burgernet alerts are resolved through community tips, showing the power of collective vigilance.

The app also sends AMBER Alerts for missing children in immediate danger, marked distinctly by an orange banner. By leveraging your smartphone’s location, Burgernet ensures you get relevant notifications wherever you are, while guaranteeing privacy by not tracking your data or location. Engage with your community and police directly through the app to make your neighborhood safer.

User Reviews

Users appreciate Burgernet's role in helping police and community safety by sending notifications about local incidents. However, common issues include poor map functionality hindering location identification, delayed notifications, frequent app crashes, concerns about privacy due to sensitive data collection, and problems with address validation during registration.

Pros

Helpful for assisting police and community safety for alerting citizens about incidents.
Provides notifications about missing persons and local safety issues.
Supports digital neighborhood investigations to involve citizens in community security.

Cons

App lacks accurate and user-friendly map interaction; users can't easily specify or understand locations related to alerts.
Delayed or after-the-fact notifications reduce app usefulness; push SMS alerts removal is criticized.
The app frequently crashes, especially when opening notifications or alerts, impeding usability.
Location and privacy concerns: app collects extensive personal data without clear user consent.
Address recognition issues; the app often fails to correctly recognize or accept valid postal codes and house numbers, causing registration problems.

Recent reviews

Please enable map interaction for investigation tip requests. Otherwise we don't know where the crime took place, we don't know all street in our city by name nor by zoomed in map section, we need to be able to click the map and zoom out for orientation. We are not all taxi drivers ;)

Los van alle privacy en geo-locatie problematiek, is er nog de politieke discussie: De gemeenteraad saboteert de politie hier continue, en als burger moet in nu op vrijdag en zaterdag het tuig opsporen waar de politie niet de capaciteit voor heeft? Daarnaast heeft de gemeente mij meermaals in de kou laten staan toen ik problemen had. Respect en steun voor gezag en de gemeenschap zijn bij mij het raam uit, en zo ook deze app. Niet mijn probleem meer... Totdat ik misschien verhuist ben.
