The Nigerian Police has deployed technology towards handling
insecurity in the country with the launch of its “Rescue Me app.”
The app would aid the timely arrival of police officers to
crime scene anywhere in the country.
Jigawa State Police commissioner, Usman Gonna said that the
app was developed to tackle insecurity through technology.
The Police CP said the application would improve the
response time of police officers to emergency situations in real-time as the
application uses internet services and is global position satellite
(GPS)-based.
Checks shows that the application is available for
download on Google Play Store and Apple app store. The commissioner also said
the app is available for download on the Nigeria Police National Command and
Control Safety Centre’s official website, www.npfc4i.com
The app is easy to use.
The commissioner explained stating that users only have to
press the “help button” and the distress button will promptly offer for
selection an incident icon.
The icons include Homicide, Killing Spree, Rape, Assault,
Kidnapping, Domestic Threat, Burglary, and Violence.
Users are also to select an estimated number of victims to
ease the decision-making and preparedness of the rescue team, the commissioner
added.
Afterward, the camera and microphone of the smartphone are
activated for the collection of evidence as the emergency would immediately be
sent successfully to the police control room.
The police CP said it could also be used to report
unprofessional conduct of police officers.
