Shake your phone, get help: City Police app's new feature for women safety

 The Mangaluru City Police app version 2.0 opens doors to several options especially for women and children, who can send distress message to dear ones or police when in trouble.

The new advanced update of Mangaluru City Police app that is available on Google Play Store can be downloaded to any Android phones and those who have already downloaded the Version 1.0 may update it.

The new app has more features including women and child safety, checking FIR status, locating parking areas, man tracking feature, daily crime report, locating police stations, traffic offence, and many more options that were not included in the earlier version launched on April 7.

One of the major features of the app is women and child safety. Just by shaking the phone or pressing the power on button five times, women and children may send distress message to a pre-saved number, may it be a friend, relative or a police officer. The app will send distress message via SMS and email with details including location of the person in trouble.
