Islamabad Police has launched a new mobile application called ‘1 Info,’ designed to enhance communication between law enforcement and citizens through technology. The initiative aims to make it easier for residents to report crimes, emergencies, or suspicious activities in real time. Available for download on both Google Play Store and Apple App Store, the app allows users to instantly alert the police with just a single tap. The move is part of the department’s broader effort to use digital tools to strengthen public safety and foster trust between authorities and the community.
Officials said the ‘1 Info’ app represents Islamabad Police’s growing emphasis on digital transformation and proactive policing. Through the platform, users can share critical information, including images or descriptions of incidents, allowing police to respond more efficiently and effectively. This direct, technology-driven channel bridges the gap between the public and law enforcement, helping ensure that urgent cases receive immediate attention. Authorities believe that the app will serve as a vital resource not only for reporting emergencies but also for preventing potential crimes through faster detection and community vigilance.
Beyond real-time alerts, the application encourages residents to play an active role in maintaining security within their neighborhoods. It builds on Islamabad Police’s recent initiatives aimed at enhancing community engagement and improving response times through innovation. The department has also been running awareness campaigns about online safety, warning citizens about fake calls, phishing messages, and SMS scams. These fraudulent communications often target individuals by requesting personal or financial details, posing a risk to data privacy and digital security. Through ‘1 Info,’ users now have a reliable and official way to communicate with police authorities, reducing the chances of falling victim to misinformation or scams.
Islamabad Police continues to advance its digital initiatives as part of the broader national vision of building a more connected and tech-enabled public sector. With the introduction of ‘1 Info,’ law enforcement agencies are taking a significant step toward integrating technology into everyday policing practices. Citizens can now report incidents directly through the app without the need for lengthy phone calls or visits to police stations. Officials said this transformation is aimed at ensuring that Islamabad remains one of the safest and most responsive capitals in the region.
