Source: Valley Morning Star, Harlingen, TexasDec.存倉 25--HARLINGEN -- Add the Harlingen Police Department to the growing list of corporations and agencies that "have an app for that."HPD has developed a app that allows users to report issues or concerns directly from their iPhone or iPad, including photos.The HPD worked with Cloud Space Mobile to develop the app that is now available for free download for the iPhone.An android smartphone version will be available after the Christmas holiday.Sgt. David Osborne called the app a different and interesting way to interact with the police department, adding there are useful links for community resources, crime prevention, and online reporting.The app includes a personal property catalog that allows users to take photos and record serial numbers of their valuables, he said. In the event that property is lost or stolen, the user will be able to share the information with police so the exact item, description and identifying characteristics儲存can help to have property returned, Osborne said.Users can view the HPD's most wanted and missing person's lists, find department contact information, explore HPD social media, press release feeds, pay tickets and get answers to frequently asked questions.The app is a great alternative to the cities website because it's more focused on the police department, Osborne said.The city's website was unavailable Dec. 19 through Dec. 23, leaving residents without access to the police department webpage, but the app will allow access regardless of website availability."In the event of a system failure, we would like another way to interact with the community," he said, adding that sometimes technology is taken for granted and when it fails there's a need for other ways of communication.ksommer@valleystar.comCopyright: ___ (c)2013 Valley Morning Star (Harlingen, Texas) Visit Valley Morning Star (Harlingen, Texas) at .valleymorningstar.com Distributed by MCT Information Services迷你倉
