Speaking with Mr Amos Emmanuel, president, Programos Foundation and the UN World Summit Award Nigeria Eminent National Expert in Accra Ghana, Ihesie, said “the mega-sized and valuable content solution has been overhauled for application in the national exercise to promote safety in the coming election”.
iPolice is a community policing platform designed to engage more Nigerians in making Nigeria a safer country.
The mobile app iPolice provides citizens with an effective way of partnering with security agencies, by reporting crimes and providing valuable information via their mobile phones. iPolice also supports community-oriented policing efforts by keeping citizens informed of crime and security issues in the neighbourhood where they live or work, thus helping to reduce crime in the community.
iPolice makes it possible to follow and analyze security and crime trends according to federal state and given location.
The iPolice app helps locate the nearest police station with address and contact details, for quick and easy crime reporting. Special features of the application include: Security news and alert security tips for safe living; a Crime reporting module; an Information feedback module; the Town and suburb crime history and security report.
The ‘Nearest police station’ option gives the user’s location. In keeping abreast of crime and security-related news as it unfolds, Nigerians can learn and contribute to basic crime prevention measures.
Speaking on the app, Mr Amos Emmanuel, president, Programos Foundation and the UN World Summit Award Nigeria Eminent National Expert in Accra Ghana, said, “We seize this opportunity to call on innovative entrepreneurs to continue to deliver societal changing products to give positive and sustainable hope to humanity!”
iPolice Mobile product was Nigeria’s UN World Summit Award Winner in 2013.
