Madhya Pradesh Police launch e-cop app for women's safety
The Madhya Pradesh police have launched 'MP e-Cop', a mobile app to facilitate girls to get immediate back-up just by the push of a button. MP e-cop app has been introduced amid national debates over women's safety triggered by a spate of crimes against women all over the country. "There is SOS (an international code signal for extreme distress) facility in the app, which would trigger the SMS to Dial 100 and phone numbers fed in the app by the girls/women," Bhopal's DIG Irshad Wali said. As soon as the girl in distress pushes the button, the app will send an alert to Dial 100 and also SMSs on the five numbers fed by her in the app, he added. The police will find the location of the person in distress after it receives the alert.
