The problem
The local police needed a fast way to share news, alerts and safety notices with the public. The plan was a dedicated system for that, with two parts: a mobile app and a server.
What was agreed
- Prioritized scope
- A system in two pieces: the Android mobile app and the server, the part that runs behind the app.
What was delivered
A dedicated channel for the local police to quickly share news, alerts and safety notices with the public.
Who it’s for
The system involves two audiences: the local police, who publish the information, and the public, who receive it.
How it works
The app is the part that lives on the phone; the server runs behind it, off the phone.
The technology, in plain words
- PHP: a programming language made to run on servers and widely used in websites and web systems. In this project, it is the server technology.
- Android: Google’s operating system for phones and tablets. The system’s mobile app was built for it.
