November 10, 2014<\/strong><\/p>\n

Queensland Police have upgraded their popular Policelink smartphone app with changes designed to make it easier for people to report non-urgent matters.<\/p>\n

The app allows users to directly report non-urgent crimes, such as theft, as well as locate their nearest police station.<\/p>\n

The app can also provide the latitude and longitude of their location, should it be needed.<\/p>\n

People can also upload photos and videos directly to police.<\/p>\n

Crime maps and a rolling news screen have also been included.<\/p>\n

The Queensland Police website<\/a><\/strong> has also been undated.<\/p>\n

There are now 20 reporting options including noisy party reporting, “track-my-crime”, stolen property updates, hooning, wilful damage, taxi fare evasion, graffiti and withdrawal of complaint forms.<\/p>\n

Superintendent Matthew Vanderbyl said the Policelink App and online reporting functions were delivering considerable benefits for both frontline police and the community.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the touch of a button, users can conveniently and anonymously report non-urgent matters and provide police with potentially vital evidence,” he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cHaving it all packed into the one application and webpage, makes it much simpler for people to access the information and functions.\u201d<\/p>\n

The technology complements the Policelink hotline which has processed more than 2.5 million calls since it was established in 2010 and provides further options for the hearing impaired and non-speaking communities when seeking non urgent contact with police.<\/p>\n

The Policelink App can be downloaded for free from the App Store for Apple devices and Google Play for Android devices.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
