Hertfordshire Constabulary have launched a new app for both Android and iOS. The app store states the app will allow you to do the following:
- Give you the latest news and appeals from the police in Hertfordshire
- Discover who your local police officers are and how to get in touch with them
- Report a non-emergency crime or make an enquiry with web chat
- View the latest scams from ActionFraud
- Register with your local Neighbourhood Watch
Police and Crime commissioner, David Lloyd said
The app is yet another way of contacting the police and gives the public more options and an alternative to using the phone. I want to make it as easy as possible to contact our officers. Being able to use web-chat on their phone, or report crimes via the app is a great service.
The app can be downloaded from the iTunes App Store or Google Play Store and provide an alternative to calling 101 for non-emergency matters.
In an emergency, people should always call 999. This includes when a crime is in progress, when someone suspected of a crime is nearby, when there is danger to life or when violence is being used or threatened.
