The Western Australia Police Force (WA Police) has enhanced its support for family violence victims through an enhanced smart mobile application provided by technology partnerMotorola Solutions.
Developed by Motorola Solutions the PSCore app now allows front-line officers to record a broader range of incidents from the field.
It automatically notifies partner agencies and support services when family violence reports are submitted.
"The addition of a new family violence reporting capability is another way this mobile application helps our officers to respond to different kinds of incidents," said superintendent Dean Snashall, technology portfolio, WA Police Force.
The PSCore application provides officers with a risk assessment framework and a summary of family violence history, leading to significant improvements in compliance levels and workflows for all family violence reports.
Deployed across WA Police Force's entire fleet of 6500 mobile devices, PSCore integrates critical operational information from multiple systems through a single, intuitive interface.
It represents a key component of the force's digital policing strategy, aiming to leverage technology for improved productivity, incident awareness and safety.
"Our smart mobile applications help front-line personnel to complete key operational tasks from wherever they are, allowing them to work with greater focus, accuracy and speed," Con Balaskas, managing director for Australia and New Zealand, Motorola Solutions, explained.
The application's success was recently recognised with a WA Police Force Recognition of Excellence Award for the agency's Family Violence Division.
This technological advancement marks a significant step in WA Police Force's efforts to enhance their response to family violence incidents, providing officers with the tools they need to make informed decisions and offer better support to victims.
