The Nigerian Police just launched today the Smart Police app to cater for case reporting such as rape, robbery, assault and theft without compromise of identity. This is good news as they have joined the league (CES 2016) of those releasing new tech stuff this period. This app was created by Cyberspace, a wholly Nigerian company created in 1995 to deliver ICT services and cutting edge networking solutions. Cyberspace is reputed for being the first to build a world class converged IP network that supports applications based on the 3 hierarchical models in 2002.
This is a major step in the right direction as far security is concerned. Residents don’t have to pass through the rigors of unstable networks for voice calling. The app also allows for real time updates as cases are treated. All information sent are accessed only by Approved personnel of the Police Force. With the click of a Panic button and a short description of the event, the information is received immediately by the Police.
We hope that this app will be void of bugs that might hinder its optimal function. Cyberspace is sure capable of handling this with regular updates. Kudos to the Nigerian Police and Cyberspace.
