Tackling Anti-Social Behaviour with imabi
Supporting and helping communities feel safer: on transport, in public spaces and across the places we live, work and study
imabi brings together public reporting, live guidance and local partnership tools in one connected platform to help tackle ASB more effectively, while supporting those on the frontline.
Our solutions - imabi Connect and imabi Travel Guardian - work together to give transport operators, policing and local authorities the insight, evidence and tools they need to act quickly and confidently
Travel Guardian is designed to sit alongside existing routes , including British Transport Police reporting and Crimestoppers, not replace them.
It provides a simple additional pathway that makes it easier for people to share what they see, anonymously if needed, while still directing reports to the right place.
