The Medicine Hat Police Service (MHPS) is pleased to provide the community with improved access to police resources and information via a free mobile device application.
The application developed by Apex Mobile consolidates all of the MHPS communication channels into a single source, easy to navigate platform, that allows residents to stay connected to the MHPS and informed about media release information, alerts and community safety concerns. There is information about the City of Medicine Hat bylaws, what to do when a motor vehicle collision occurs, forms and applications and a list of frequently asked questions.
Individuals are able to report six types of crimes online, view found property, submit tips relating to crime, drugs and bylaw offences and assist the MHPS with locating missing persons, wanted persons and identifying criminals caught on camera.
To ensure residents stay safe and are aware of crime trends in the city, the app provides links to calls for service and crime maps. Once downloaded by the user, the app will allow the MHPS to send push notifications directly to individual devices during emergency events.
The MHPS app is free to download and available for both Apple and Android devices by searching ‘Medicine Hat Police Service’ on the Apple App Store or Google Play Store.
