LAOAG CITY – The Ilocos Norte Provincial Police Office’s (INPPO) services have become more accessible to the public with the help of its new free-for-download and mobile application.
The iPOLICE app designed for android phones is one of the latest innovations of the INPPO that allows Ilocanos and visitors to have the services of the local police at their fingertips.
“Manong PD (Provincial Director) and Team INPPO conceptualized this program to elevate policing and public information in cyberspace and to further provide a feeling of safety and security to the local folks and tourists 24/7,” Police Staff Sgt. Ryann Mendoza of the INPPO-Information Technology Division said on Tuesday.
He said the Ilocos Norte police is the first local police office to develop such a mobile app that features an easy-access platform downloaded via the Play Store.
Users are provided with complete information about the different units of the INPPO, including their contact details.
Various services of the Philippine National Police such as applications for clearances, updates and advisories, and other transactions can also be accessed through the app.
The app also features a message board covered by the Data Privacy Act, where users can interact freely with men and women in uniform regarding complaints, concerns, partnerships, and other requests.
The SOS icon also connects users to any police unit and other concerned agencies for a quicker emergency response. (PNA)
