Digital Patrols is a mobile application installed on authorized Android devices that allows police officers to document relevant activities or events during their patrol shift.
The main functionalities include:
- Real-time patrol tracking: The person in charge of leading the patrol indicates the start and end of the patrol from their application. During the patrol, the movement of the mobile device can be monitored through a web application accessible from the institution.
- Police reports: This feature allows reporting suspicious incidents or traffic accidents by sending a photo if required along with the coordinates of the event.
- Domestic violence: Allows reporting cases of domestic violence for follow-up via the back-office application.
- Personal or vehicle data lookup: Through OCR reading (a mechanism to extract text from a photo to a document), it allows police officers to determine if the owner of an identity document has an arrest warrant or, in the case of vehicles, a theft report.
This application helps improve the quality of service to citizens and provides the institution (PNC) with a tool to streamline their processes during patrol shifts.
