About Glome

A connected neighbourhood is a safer one.

Glome brings your neighbourhood together to know what’s nearby, help each other out and get home safely.

Why we built it

Who’s looking out for your street?

Visible policing has decreased, and trust in local response with it. So people improvised with WhatsApp groups, doorbell cameras and Facebook pages: tools that were never built for the street you live on, and ones that often leave you more anxious about your surroundings and safety.

Glome is what we wished existed instead: a network small enough to be your actual neighbours, private by design, and built to make your street feel looked after again

What we are

Glome is what a neighbourhood network should be: verified, local, and built to reassure rather than alarm.

Glome is where verified neighbours look out for each other. The neighbours around you appear on a map, but your home is yours alone. No one can see you, your name or where you live unless you choose to add them to your Trusted Circle.

When something happens nearby, you see it the moment it’s reported, and you see who’s already aware and helping, not just that something went wrong. When something needs fixing, your report reaches the relevant authority, not just a comment thread. And on a late walk home, the Walk with me feature lets the people you trust accompany the journey, so you’re never quite on your own. Glome is built on a simple belief: streets are safer when neighbours look out for one another. Not through surveillance or suspicion, but through genuine connection: the kind that turns a row of strangers into a community that has each other’s backs.

Safety by design

The things we won't ask you to trust, because we built them in.

  • Verified by post

    Anyone can join Glome. Verified members have entered a code from a card we posted to their address.

  • Named officer, not "an officer"

    Your Safety Officer has a name, a face and an SIA licence. You don't book them. You meet them.

  • Anti stalking, by default

    Your home's exact coordinates are never shown to other residents. Patrol routes never reveal a single home.

  • QR verify your officer

    Every officer carries a badge with a unique QR code. Scan it in seconds to confirm that the person on your street is the officer assigned to it.

  • Zero ads. Forever.

    Your safety is not a product to sell to advertisers. No tracking pixels, no data brokers, no retargeting.

  • Hold to call, never tap

    Safety Line takes a sustained hold to connect. No accidental pocket triggers, no panic by mistake, no false alarms reaching your Circle.

Who we are

Built by the team behind the UK's frontline credentialing platform.

Glome is from the team behind Get Licensed , the UK's training and credentialing platform for security professionals. Every Safety Officer you meet on a Glome map is verified through that same pipeline.
