Using their smart phones, residents will be able to file certain police reports, get safety alerts, locate police stations, file traffic complaints, and receive notifications from police social media accounts, among other features.
[…] Specifically, residents can use the app to report incidents that include damage to property or vehicles under $5,000, fraud under $5,000, theft under $5,000, graffiti and driving complaints, among others. Users can also contact Toronto Crime Stoppers anonymously through the app, police say.
[…] It was launched in partnership with MobilePD, a Texas-based developer that specializes in smart phone applications for law enforcement agencies.
