One More Way to Access your Police Department
April 9, 2012
The Philadelphia Police Department has added another tool to bring the communities we serve closer to the Department through technology. The Department has developed a mobile site that offers the public the best and most popular features from our website, PhillyPolice.com. Simply enterwww.PhillyPolice.com into the browser of your mobile device and you will be greeted with a homepage designed for on-the-go use. There is no app download or special URL required to launch this service.
At the top of our mobile homepage, you will see a feed from Twitter with the last tweet from our official account @PhillyPolice. That feed is constantly updated with various traffic advisories and community-related messages. Twitter is just the beginning. Need to know where the closest police district is? Just click the “Nearest Police Station” button and, using the GPS in your phone, you will see a list of the closest districts to your current location. Click once more and you will get directions to the district of your choosing. Want to view our Most Wanted Persons in Philadelphia? You can watch a video that shows the 100 most wanted suspects for whom there is an arrest warrant, and submit a tip directly from the mobile homepage. Need to find a phone number to one of our patrol districts or investigative units? All of these options and more can be found right in your pocket through a few taps of your mobile phone. Use your phone to connect to the Philadelphia Police Department now. Stay tuned for additions and updates coming your way later this month.
