The app’s SOS facility enables users to alert the police control room and share their precise GPS location within seconds, according to the state police media centre. T’puram: People facing emergency situations while travelling or in isolated areas can now seek police assistance with a single tap on Kerala Police’s official mobile application, POL-APP. The system is designed to operate round the clock, with alerts reaching the police control room and the nearest patrol vehicle, allowing police personnel to respond to the emergency location. The facility also allows users to send their location along with an emergency alert to contacts saved in the app. These emergency contacts receive the message in real time, helping them know the user’s location and respond quickly. The facility is intended to provide an additional layer of security for public, particularly during emergencies. Users can access the feature through the POL-APP and register their emergency contacts in advance.
