USMAN Alkali Baba, the Inspector-General of Police, has said that Nigerians can now report emergencies, criminal activities, and professional misconduct of police personnel via its ‘NPF Rescue Me’ mobile application.
The IGP emphasizes that the NPF Rescue Me App, which is a great improvement, redefines security and personalizes policing, enabling android and ios users to download the app from the various app stores, registering with their details and having access to a variety of features including emergency services, crime reporting, navigation, ambulances services, amongst others
The application also has an emergency button which when depressed alerts operatives at the Nigeria Police National Command and Control Centre who would immediately send out the required assistance to victims irrespective of their locations within the country.
The IGP while encouraging members of the public to download the application into their carry along gadgets, and input some required information for improved services and their personal safety, reiterates that his administration is poised to explore the use of cutting-edge technology to take combating crime and responding to emergency situations to an entirely new level
