With the addition of a new feature in Citizen Cop application, family members will get location change alerts even if there is no internet.
Other family members are always worried about the elderly, working women and children when they are away from home. Now to provide them relief, the police with the help of CitizenCop Foundation have added a new feature in the CitizenCop application named Aalamban.
In this available option, a fixed time will be fed when you leave the house. If the relatives do not return by that time, then with the help of the three phone numbers registered in that feature, an alert message with location will be sent to the family's number.
This feature was launched on Thursday in Bhopal. In this launch, Police Commissioner Harinarayanachari Mishra, Additional CP Awadhesh Goswami, Additional CP Anurag Sharma, DCP Crime Shrut Kirti Somvanshi, Additional DCP Crime Shailendra Singh Chauhan and Founder of CitizenCop Foundation Rakesh Jain were present.
Commissioner Harinarayanachari Mishra said that this is the first feature in the country in which the victim does not even need to press any button in times of trouble. Only by giving the information fed in it, the information will reach the family along with the location. There is no need of internet to use Aalamban app, this feature can also be used offline. In this, the alert reaches the family like SMS. For this it is necessary to have a smartphone as well as GPS.
On going to this feature of Citizen Cop, you will have to save the phone numbers of any three of your relatives or acquaintances. After this, you will have to write a message for the alert that will be sent in case of trouble. After saving this information, you will have to come back out of this option. On going to this option again, a timer will appear.
Senior citizens will set a regular time in this timer while going from home to temple, outing or morning walk. If for some reason they are not able to reach home within this time limit, then a message will be sent to the feed numbers with location for help.
Rakesh Jain, Founder of CitizenCop Foundation, said that this new feature is especially helpful for senior citizens, college girls and working women. This is a safety tool for women who have odd working hours and find it late at night when they return home.
