Officers can quickly capture important field notes, evidence, images, vid- eos and audio statements at the scene, and instantly and securely upload all files to the website. << An amped-up neighborhood watch MobilePD partnered with the Victoria Police Department on the first mobile application in Canada to help fight crime. App users can track crime in their neighborhood, report specific crimes online, leave tips for investigators, listen in to news reports and get access to all of VicPD's social media feeds. The app can also send out real-time emergency notifications if there's an urgent public safety concern like a missing child, major public safety event, or a dangerous wanted person on the loose. >> All hands on deck PublicEye's app for law enforcement offers an easier way to maintain communication with officials in the field.
