Applications for citizen security


Description

For the implementation of public policies, special attention was placed on the development of applications that help prevent and combat all types of violence,
particularly gender-based violence, targeting the most vulnerable groups: children, women and older adults.
Since the province of San Luis has an extensive connectivity infrastructure, Digital Signature, an Electronic Provincial Identity Card
and the conviction that this type of tools maximize digitalization of the
province and improves its citizens’ quality of life, the following
applications were developed and implemented throughout the province:
Alerta Temprana is a mobile application for Windows, Android and
IOS designed to send alerts along with geographic positioning intended for women who face risk situations. To send an alert you only need to execute the app and touch the screen for a few seconds.
Alarma Puntana is an application that works on mobile devices by facilitating and speeding up requests of different emergency services, such as informing the police, requesting an ambulance, reporting a fire, reporting violence, reporting an accident, or notifying bullying cases.
Comisaría Virtual is an app and a Website, which enables citizens of San Luis to carry out the same procedures they would do in a Police station. Both the applicant and the police authority must digitally sign the procedure.
Sumario Digital digitizes the police summary of evidence, which allows smooth and direct virtual communication between the Judicial Branch and the Police, two organizations that work closely together.
