It also offers Janamaithri services for senior citizens, safety features for women and children, the Track My Trip facility for women travelling alone and elderly citizens, information for train passengers and blood donors, internet safety guidance and a tourist guide, among other services.
Designed with a user-friendly interface, the application is available on both the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store.
In its statement, the Kerala Police encouraged the public to download and use the application, describing POL-APP as one of the country's most widely used public service mobile applications.
