BM Security Unveils Smartpanics Mobile App To Enhance Personal Safety & Emergency Response

BM Security, one of Kenya’s most trusted security companies with more than four decades of experience protecting people, businesses and institutions, has unveiled BM SmartPanics, an innovative mobile-based emergency response platform. The launch expands access to professional, technology-driven security solutions for homes and businesses across Kenya.

The new offerings reinforce BM Security's commitment to delivering fast, reliable, 24/7 alarm monitoring, emergency response, and integrated security and fire protection services. They also mark a significant milestone in the company's evolution from a traditional guarding provider into a comprehensive security solutions partner that combines human expertise, technology, intelligence and rapid response capabilities to meet the demands of modern security.

At the heart of the launch is the BM SmartPanics mobile application, which transforms any smartphone into a personal emergency response device. With a single tap, users can instantly alert BM Security’s 24/7 Control Room, enabling trained response teams to coordinate assistance within minutes.

The app features dedicated emergency buttons for security incidents (SOS/Panic), fire emergencies and medical assistance, ensuring users are connected to the appropriate response service as quickly as possible. It also includes an innovative ‘On My Way’ feature, which allows users to set a safety timer while travelling and automatically triggers an alert if they fail to reach their destination on time, and a ‘Here I Am’ function that instantly shares their live GPS location with designated contacts or the BM Security Control Room.

Additional capabilities include multimedia incident reporting through photos, videos and audio recordings, seamless integration with alarm monitoring systems, SMS backup functionality to ensure connectivity when internet access is limited, and a discreet safety mode that allows the application to hide after an SOS alert has been triggered. Together, these features provide continuous protection whether users are at home, at work or on the move, delivering immediate access to professional assistance whenever and wherever it is needed.

Michelle Morgan, Chief Executive Officer of BM Security, says, “Security today is no longer just about physical presence. It is about intelligence, connectivity, speed and adaptability,” adding, “The launch of BM SmartPanics demonstrates our commitment to delivering innovative solutions that empower individuals, families, businesses and event organisers with immediate access to professional security support wherever they are.”

Through innovations such as BM SmartPanics, BM Security is strengthening its position as a leader in modern security solutions in Kenya by combining trusted human expertise with cutting-edge technology to deliver protection that is proactive, connected and always within reach. BM SmartPanics forms part of BM Security’s broader technology-driven security ecosystem, which includes integrated alarm systems, surveillance solutions, emergency monitoring, and response services designed to deliver connected, end-to-end protection.

As the company continues to evolve, it remains committed to the values that have defined its legacy for more than four decades while embracing the future of security. Today, safeguarding people and property requires more than guards at gates—it demands intelligent systems, integrated technologies, and highly trained professionals working together to provide confidence and peace of mind.

“At BM Security, we are not simply responding to the future of security; we are helping shape it. Our vision is to provide security solutions that give people confidence, peace of mind and the freedom to live, work and gather safely,” -- concluded Michelle Morgan.
