The app provides access to information about the nearest police station and neighbourhood policing team information, officers details, meetings, student safety zone in Manchester and an ‘around me’ feature that plots news, appeals, wanted people nearby the user.
It has been developed by GMP staff and is available now to download from the App Store. An Android version will be available in spring 2013.
