Mobile app for public safety introduced in Taiwan

The Ministry of Interior launched recently a mobile application which not only allows users to have better access to public safety services but also gives them  an opportunity to help the police force fight crime.


The app includes features such as the 110 police service line, the 113 abuse prevention line, the 165 fraud prevention line, fugitive and stolen car information, missing person reports, road traffic information, police case reports and a taxi calling.

According to reports, the 110 police service function includes a GPS tracking system for the police to easily trace the caller’s destination. With that function in place, the police would be able to respond efficiently at the crime scene.

The app is available on iOS and Android platforms for free download.
As of last week, the Ministry of Interior’s mobile app was the fifth most downloaded in Taiwan.
