Emergency First
GringoGuard is not an emergency service and does not file official reports automatically. If someone is in immediate danger, use local emergency services first: 123 in Colombia, 911 in Mexico and the Dominican Republic, then the local police, tourist police, prosecutor, or child-protection channel for formal routing.
City Safety Briefs
Start with the city brief before checking the live feed. Each page summarizes the traveler patterns, neighborhoods, and official routing most relevant to that city.
- Medellin Travel Safety Alerts: Medellin safety decisions often come down to neighborhood, transport choices, nightlife timing, and whether a report is backed by official or repeated public-source signals.
- Cartagena Travel Safety Alerts: Cartagena safety checks should focus on tourist-zone pressure, beach and island transfers, late-night transport, and whether a claim is official, repeated, or still under review.
- Bogota Travel Safety Alerts: Bogota safety guidance changes by zone and time of day, so visitors should compare current feed signals with transport plans, weather, protest advisories, and official notices.

Public Claims Policy
Public pages prioritize patterns: city, approximate zone, method, venue/app, date range, and redacted narratives. Names, faces, private handles, exact addresses, room numbers, IDs, and victim-identifying details stay locked until human review.
Child Safety Protocol
Content involving minors is never fast-published. Sexualized minor material must not be uploaded to the public app. Operators preserve evidence lawfully, restrict access, and route child-safety reports through human review, legal escalation, and applicable authority-reporting workflows.
Moderation SLA
- Severe reports enter human review immediately.
- Appeal/removal requests require audit-log review before action.
- Official-source-backed posts must cite public authority sources.
- AI decisions cannot publicly accuse a person without human approval.
