Explaining its features, he said the app has options such as ‘report a violation’, ‘women travel made safe’, ‘register with police’, ‘community policing’, ‘emergency contacts’ and ‘know your report status’.
He said Siddipet was the first Commissionarate in the State to start the Hawk Eye services. The users would get notification related to traffic and crime and they can directly connect to the Facebook page of the related police station. On the occasion, he appreciated the functioning of police personnel under Commissioner V. Siva Kumar.
Mr. Siva Kumar informed that when women use public transport or take a private vehicle, they can use the feature ‘women travel made safe’ in the app and click the registration number of the vehicle and send it to police. If they face any problem during their travel, police would be able to help them immediately.
