Nigeria’s Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Usman Alkali has confirmed an upgrade of the Nigeria Police Force crime reporting mobile application, “NPF Rescue Me’’.

ConsumerConnect reports the CSP Olunuyiwa Adejobi, Acting Force Public Relations Officer (FPRO) disclosed this development in a statement issued Saturday, March 26, 2022, in Abuja, FCT.

Adejobi said the application was designed for effective report of emergencies, criminal activities and professional misconducts of police officers to ensure rapid and immediate response by operatives of the force.

“NPF Rescue Me App” was improved to redefine security and personalise policing by enabling Android and iOS users to download the app from the various application stores,” the Acting FPRO stated.

Adejobi further said that the step is for the public to register with their details and have access to a variety of features including emergency services, crime reporting, navigation and ambulance services.

He also noted: “The application also has an emergency button that alerts operatives at the Nigeria Police National Command and Control Centre in cases of depression.

“Once this alert is received, the operatives, immediately, send out the required assistance to victims irrespective of their locations within the country.”

The NPF, therefore, urged the general public to download the application into their mobile gadgets, and input some required information for improved services and their personal safety.

Adejobi as well restated the commitment of the Nigeria Police to exploring the use of cutting-edge technology for combating crime and responding to emergency situations in Nigeria.
