I’ve been working hard on a Titanium Mobile project this year for Multizone Ltd.
A series of apps really, a utility app in essence to help bridge public engagement with local policing activities.
Utilising Public API data sources and open information networks, the app which will be available through the app store soon, we are waiting for approval from Apple.
Key features include:
- Nearest Police Station Finder
- Local Call to your Police Station
- Vote on Local priorities
- Reply to Police Tweets from your local area
- Realtime Map of Police interventions
- Charts and Graphs of Crime Statistics
- List and Bios for all local Safety Neighbourhood Teams
The key to this app is that it is part of a pair, the other half was developed and deployed to the police officers on the beat in Runnymede, who end up sending an update at the time of an incident, their app is an easy to use single click solution, which helps populate the data within this app.
This version and release has been targeted specifically to the Runnymede area within Surrey, although some aspects will work wherever you are in the country.
We intend to release android and blackberry verisons soon too.
The app was built using the Titanium Appcelerator Mobile Development Platform a javascript driven set of API’s that talk to the devices native sensors and User Interface. The main benefit of using this platform is the ability to deploy to android and iOS and soon blackberry, all without the hassle of having to learn specific languages for each platform.
