The Inspector-General of Police, IGP Usman Alkali Baba, has confirmed an upgrade of the Nigeria Police Force crime reporting mobile application known as the “NPF Rescue Me” application, which is valuable for effectively reporting emergencies, criminal activities, and professional misconducts of police officers for rapid and immediate reaction by operatives of the Nigeria Police Force.

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, register with their details, and have access to a variety of features including emergency services, crime reporting, navigation, ambulance services, amongst others.

The spokesman for the police command, CSP Olumiyiwa Adejobi, in a statement to journalists, reports that the application also has an emergency button which, when depressed, alerts operatives at the Nigeria Police National Command and Control Centre who will immediately send out the required assistance to victims irrespective of their locations within the country.
