Information about the project
Applications for citizen security
Security 3.0
For the implementation of public policies, special attention was placed on the development of applications to prevent and combat all types of violence, targeting the most vulnerable groups: children, women and older adults. Since the province of San Luis has an extensive connectivity infrastructure, Digital Signature, Electronic Provincial Identity Card and the conviction that this type of tool maximizes digitization of the province and improves its citizens’ quality of life, the following applications were developed and implemented throughout the province: Alerta Temprana (Early warning): It is a mobile application designed to send alerts along with geolocation information intended for women who are in risk situations. To send an alert you only need to open the app and touch the screen for a few seconds. Alarma Puntana (San Luis alarm): It 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 cases of bullying. Comisaría Virtual: This is an app and website that enables citizens of San Luis to complete the same procedures they would do in a police station. In both cases, the procedure must be digitally signed by both the applicant and the police authority. Sumario Digital (Digital summary): This system digitizes the police summary, which allows smooth and direct virtual communication between the Judicial Branch and the Police, two organizations that work closely together.
Local implementation: Argentina, San Luis Province
Ongoing from 29/07/2016 to 31/12/2027
