SafeStay AP App launched to make accommodation safer, strengthen emergency response
The Andhra Pradesh Police have launched the 'SafeStay AP' mobile app to centralize the verification and booking of accommodations across the state. The platform aims to improve public safety by connecting guests, property owners, and law enforcement through a unified digital interface.
Why it matters
This initiative represents a shift toward technology-driven policing, aiming to reduce manual administrative burdens while enhancing emergency response capabilities.
Citizens in Andhra Pradesh can now use a digital platform to discover verified accommodation, view property details and availability, make bookings and seek SOS assistance during emergencies, following the launch of the SafeStay AP app.
Director General of Police Harish Kumar Gupta and Guntur district Superintendent of Police Vakul Jindal launched the platform on Tuesday (September 22, 2026).
Mr. Jindal told The Hindu that SafeStay AP brought citizens, accommodation providers and the police ecosystem onto a common digital platform to improve information visibility and verification and support faster safety-related response.
