The Acting Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, Ph.D, NPM, was joined by dignitaries at the IGP Smart Conference Hall, Louis Edet House, Force Headquarters, Abuja, for the unveiling of the Police-VGS Quick Emergency Reporting and Response System (QERRS), a smart policing initiative aimed at revolutionizing police response to emergency and ensuring swift and efficient action in critical situations.
The Police-VGS QERRS is an application that has been modeled to ensure prompt response and referral in the event of emergencies such as accidents, natural disasters, medical emergencies, criminal incident reporting, intelligence sharing, etc.
Contained in a press release signed by the Force Public Relations Officer, CSP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, Force Headquarters, Abuja on 25th July, 2023, "With the swipe of a button on a phone, emergency notifications will be sent directly to a dedicated team of police operatives who will ensure a swift, live, and coordinated response to reach in the shortest possible time."
"The Police-VGS app is a lifeline that can make all the difference in saving lives, combatting the menace of crime, and securing our communities."
The Ag. Inspector-General of Police, equally noted that the Police-VGS, an additional option to the already launched C4i-NPF Rescue Me App, represents the epitome of the Nigeria Police commitment to the security and safety of members of the public.
