Frequently asked questions about Police Here
Understand the availability and limitations of the project before relying on any feature. Police Here does not replace emergency services.
In development: apps not yet released; login and alerts unavailable on this website.
Can I download and use the app now?
Not yet. The iPhone and Android apps are in development and have not been published in stores. On this website you can explore the interface and read information; login, registration and alerts are not active. No launch date is confirmed.
Does the app automatically call police and report my address?
No. The implemented flow opens the dialer, but calling requires your confirmation. The app does not speak to the operator or automatically send your location to police dispatch. Explain where you are during the call and verify the local number.
How do my contacts receive an alert?
The project requests SMS, email or WhatsApp alerts through configured providers. Contacts must consent; WhatsApp also requires opt-in and an approved template. Instagram is manual. Provider acceptance does not prove delivery, and sending is not active on the public website.
Does a private link let someone track me all the time?
No. The link lasts while the contact is registered, but access to location is controlled. Outside an active emergency, you approve a request or grant prior no-response permission. Removing the contact revokes the link.
Does it work with a switched-off phone, no internet or a closed app?
A switched-off phone cannot provide a new position. A previously authorized last position may be outdated. No response does not prove that the phone is off. Location and speech updates depend on connectivity, permissions and an open app; they may pause with a locked screen.
Does Police Here always listen or record my conversations?
No. Phrase recognition is optional and requires permission while the app is open. Police Here does not record audio. The operating system speech service may process audio under its own policies.
How can I control or delete my data?
The project lets you manage contacts and permissions in settings. With the API active, in-app deletion requires confirmation and account verification. If you cannot access your account, read the deletion page and contact support; an email does not automatically delete the account.
