The Inspector-General of Police, IGP Usman Alkali Baba has announced an upgrade of the Nigeria Police Force crime reporting mobile app known as ‘NPF Rescue Me’.
The app is invaluable to effectively report emergencies, criminal activities, and professional misconducts of police officers, for rapid and immediate reaction by operatives of the Nigeria Police Force.
Baba emphasized that the NPF Rescue Me App, which is a great improvement, redefines security and personalizes policing.
Android and ios users can download the app from the various app stores, register their details and have access to a variety of features.
The embedded features include emergency services, crime reporting, navigation, ambulances services, amongst others.
The application also has an emergency button which alerts operatives at the Nigeria Police National Command and Control Centre.
The centre would immediately send out the required assistance to victims irrespective of their locations within the country.
Baba urged the public to download the app into their mobile gadgets, and input some required information for improved services and their personal safety.
He reiterated that his administration is poised to exploring the use of cutting-edge technology to take combatting crime and responding to emergency situations to an entirely new level.
