Who you can hire

Every safety service, one directory

Independent vendors publish their services and you book them directly — corporate guarding, personal bodyguards, ambulances, CPFs, commissioners and more.

Private Security & Guarding

Guarding companies and individual guards you can book for corporate, residential or personal protection.

Emergency Response

Ambulances, paramedics, fire and rescue, disaster response and recovery services.

Policing & Community Safety

Police units, metro traffic, community policing forums and neighbourhood watches.

Commissioning & Certification

Commissioners of oaths and digital certifying entities that verify documents virtually.

Specialist Services

Investigators and accredited training academies supporting the safety sector.

Emergency response

Help, dispatched fast

Reach police, ambulances and fire services in seconds — through the app or by calling the national hotlines.

In-app Emergency SOS

Send a silent or live alert with your GPS location. Nearest officers and responders are dispatched.

Ambulances & paramedics

Private ambulance services and advanced life support crews you can book for transport or standby cover.

Fire & rescue

Firefighting and rescue teams, plus disaster management for floods, storms and structural collapses.

Towing & recovery

Accident scene towing and roadside recovery, available for scheduled and immediate call-outs.

Verified providers

Vetted and ready to work

Every listed vendor submits compliance details for review before a verified badge appears.

Incident reporting

Report what you see. Get it fixed.

From potholes and burst pipes to vandalism, hazards and crime hotspots — report public incidents with photos and video. Reports are public, so the whole community can follow progress.

For an emergency in progress use Emergency SOS instead — it alerts responders immediately.

Report in two minutes

Describe the problem, add photos or a video, and pin the location.

Public and trackable

Each report gets a tracking reference and appears on the live safety map.

Community verified

Neighbours rate and confirm reports so authorities see what matters most.

Earn rewards

Useful reports earn reward points — add a contact to be paid out.

Commissioning & certification

Get documents certified online

Commissioning agencies and digital certifying entities are part of the platform. Have an affidavit commissioned or a document verified virtually, and keep the certified copy with an audit trail.

Commissioning agencies

Appointed commissioners who commission affidavits, sworn statements and statutory declarations.

Virtual certification

Certify documents over a live video session — no trip to a police station or lawyer.

Digital verification

Entities verify identity, signatures and document authenticity, issuing a verifiable digital certificate.

Court-ready affidavits

Filed statements stay in your account with a full audit trail of who commissioned them.

Help & answers

Questions people ask

Who can list on BHUTI?

Private security companies, individual guards and bodyguards, ambulances and medical response, fire and rescue, towing, police units, metro traffic, community policing forums, neighbourhood watches, investigators, training academies, commissioning agencies and digital certifying entities.

Are providers vetted?

Every listing submits company registration, PSIRA or operating licence details for review. Verified providers carry a verified badge in the directory.

How much does booking cost?

The platform does not charge you to send a request. You agree pricing directly with the provider; each listing shows an indicative hourly rate or call-out fee.

What is the difference between SOS and incident reporting?

Emergency SOS alerts responders to a danger happening now and captures your GPS location. Incident reporting logs public problems such as potholes, hazards or vandalism so they can be tracked and resolved.

Can I get a document certified without visiting a station?

Yes. Commissioning agencies and digital certifying entities on the platform can commission affidavits and verify documents over a virtual session.
