Vijaywada, September 22: In a bid to enhance the police service for Common people and to drive out the stigma associated with visiting police stations, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy launched the AP Police Seva app. This will enable the common man to utilize services provided by the police department without going to the police station.

While launching the app via a video conference Jagan said, "The App will be useful to create a sense that police are for the public service and they are available 24x7 for the people. This app will also substantially minimize the need to approach police stations physically."
 
 
"The notion of citizen-friendly police will only be realised when the public starts seeing the Police as a service than a force. This app with 12 modules on women safety, 15 modules on cyber safety, 6 modules on road safety besides numerous other services is a step in the right direction to achieve the same," CM YS Jagan Mohan Reddy said during the launch.
 
 
The new app offers 87 types of services connecting all police stations across the state besides integrating the existing women-safety Disha App as well. The app will enable the public to register complaints, check FIR status and e-challans, file applications for passports, licenses, and no-objection certificates.
 
Moreover, the app also has a feature to check the authenticity of news circulated on social media. It consists of a fact-check feature, which one can utilise to find the authenticity of the news reports or the news being circulating on social media. Also, the app will periodically update information about missing persons and unidentified dead bodies.
 
“The launch of this app designed in-house is a landmark occasion for the AP Police department. The department has been constantly incorporating technology and innovation in enhancing the efficiency of the services provided and the 37 awards received by the department at the national level is testimony regarding the same.” the DGP Gowtham Sawang said during the launch. Police officials from across the state joined the launch through video conference, while some interacted with Reddy.
