How Burgernet works
Burgernet is used in cases such as theft or burglary, hit-and-run accidents, robbery, and missing persons. Through the Burgernet app, you receive an alert whenever something like this happens in your area. Have you seen something? Then you can contact the police directly through the app.

AMBER Alert
Through the Burgernet app, you also receive AMBER Alerts when a missing child is in life-threatening danger. You can recognize an AMBER Alert by the orange color and the title AMBER Alert.

About the app
The app uses your smartphone’s location to send you notifications about incidents in your area — even when you’re away from home. Participation is anonymous; your personal data or location are not tracked.
