KARACHI : Sindh Police have launched a mobile application to facilitate the people of the southern province.

The Android app ‘Police For You‘ was launched by Karachi police chief Ameer Shaikh in a ceremony on Monday.

“The main goal of this system is to provide a competent and efficient platform where users can easily update about any emergency and officers/concerned department may take suitable action to help,” reads the app description on Play Store.

“It will also facilitate general public for character certificate applications, tenant registration etc.”

Addressing on the occasion, Shaikh said citizens can use the app to register complaints.

“The application has been launched to facilitate the people through the use of modern technology,” he added.

The AIG said that the app would help change ‘thana culture’ [police stations]’ as well help improve performance of the police.

He added that another application to lodge complaints against police officials would also be launched soon.

K-P police did launch mobile application to curb crime on March 22, 2018

PESHAWAR: The Inspector-General (IG) of Khyber Pahtunkhwa (K-P) Salahudin Mehsud launched the Police Mobile application.

The basic aim of the mobile app developed for android phones is to inform the police immediately about all the crimes, as the app would automatically point to the location of the crime scene using Google’s Maps application.

The app can be downloaded from K-P police’s website free of cost in any android smartphone and the general public can use it in the event of burglary, theft, murder or even a road accident.

“By pressing one button, the police would automatically be notified promptly about the crime, and concerned police stations and city patrol forces will reach the site immediately,” said IG K-P while addressing the media on the occasion.

He further added that the K-P police was on the forefront of introducing new and state-of-the-art technology in the province, and the crime ratio was lowest in the province as compared to the previous years. “The app would increase the level of coordination between police and the masses,” the IGP concluded.
