Description
From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.
CSG ALERT is an emergency response, personal safety and reporting solution for CSG affiliated organisations and their members in Australia.
It’s use is restricted to registered users who have been authorised by a CSG affiliated organisation in Australia.
This application enables:
- Registered individuals to use their mobile devices to send an immediate distress signal or report a crime/hazard/emergency.
- Registered individuals to use their mobile devices to report suspicious activity to the CSG.
Key Features – SOS Alert and Incident Reporting:
- Send an immediate distress signal when you’re in danger. Automatically connect to emergency services by swiping the SOS button. The distress signal can be transmitted in silent or regular mode, and if desired, simply by opening the app.
- Report crimes, emergencies and more. Let your community know when, where and what kind of help is needed. Add pictures or live video streaming to give community security personnel or first responders advance information before they arrive.
- See something, say something. Alert your community to potential threats, incidents and suspicious activity.
- Receive notifications of safety or security problems near your location or involving your school/institution/event, near your location from your community.
Please note:
Use of the CSG ALERT app is subject to the terms and conditions of the End User Licence Agreement (EULA) contained within it.
This application is not intended to replace, nor is it connected to, your local emergency service providers.
Coverage is dependent on your mobile /cell phone’s network and GPS connection.

CSG ALERT APK: questions and answers
Can I install this APK over the version I already have?
Only if it is signed with the same certificate as the copy on your phone and isn't an older version. If Android says “App not installed”, the certificates differ; uninstalling your copy first works but deletes its data unless it is backed up.
Is the CSG ALERT APK safe?
No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store rates this file Trusted. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is 806f565d252b150268a7a540c90de146.
