Report

Live operations: Every alert is checked by an officer before anyone sees it. Public tips go to the assigned case officer. Found cards are returned through neutral handover points. Phone numbers, ID numbers and exact GPS stay private. Guardians are unpaid community volunteers.

Apply to be a SafeGuard guardian

Guardians help officers verify community details and amplify approved alerts in their region. Every application is reviewed by a SafeGuard officer before approval.

Stand guard

When a family cannot search every street, a region can.

Guardians are the verified eyes on the route, the chiefs in the chiefdom, the teachers at the gate. You will not see private case data — only the public-safe alerts a case officer has approved for your region.

Identity verification

As it appears on your Ghana Card.

Your Ghana Card details help confirm identity during review. SafeGuard records your consent now and completes any extra verification steps before approval.
