Your community needs people who step up

Who we're looking for
You don't need to wear a uniform to make a difference — but you do need to be trained, verified and willing to help.
Emergency Services Officer — on or off duty
Police, paramedics, fire and rescue already protect the community. LumeSafe puts nearby incidents on your map the moment they're reported, so you can help even when you're off the clock.
Licensed security
Guards, crowd controllers and patrol officers — get priority push alerts within your chosen radius and respond with the full picture: exact location and alert type.
Good Samaritans
Everyday people who step up. If you're trained and willing to help a stranger walking alone at night, you're exactly who this community needs.
First-aiders
Hold a current First Aid certificate? Your skills can change the outcome in the minutes before professional help arrives.
What you'll need
Responders see sensitive, exact locations — so every Responder is verified by a real person before access is granted. Requirements depend on your responder type:
Emergency Services Officer
- Current emergency services ID (on or off duty)
No additional First Aid or WWCC required.
Licensed security
- Current security licence / ID
- Valid Working with Children Check (WWCC)
First Aid is recommended but not required.
Good Samaritan & First-aider
- Photo ID
- Current First Aid certificate (e.g. HLTAID011 or equivalent)
- Valid Working with Children Check (WWCC)
Required because you may respond to vulnerable people.
All applications are manually reviewed by our team before Responder access is granted.
What Responders get
Exact alert locations
Community users see fuzzed locations to protect privacy. Verified Responders see exact, unmasked coordinates so you can actually get there.
Priority nearby alerts
Push notifications the moment a Spark alert or SOS is raised within your chosen radius — 1 to 10 km, you decide.
Responder dashboard
A live side-panel of every active alert near you, with one-tap actions to mark an alert as investigating or cleared.
Responder status
A visible “Responder Mode Active” status in the app so the community — and other responders — know help is on the way.
