Motorola Solutions extends smart mobile application to WA Police

Motorola Solutions has been chosen by the Western Australia Police Force to extend its smart mobile application to front-line police officers in a bid to better support victims of family violence.

The application, dubbed PSCore, integrates critical operational information from multiple systems, presenting it through a single interface.

It will be deployed across the WA Police Force’s entire fleet of 6,500 mobile devices, allowing officers to record various incidents from the field.

The application will also automatically alert partner agencies and support services when family violence reports are submitted.

PSCore is believed to have enabled noteworthy improvements in compliance levels and workflows for all family violence reports, as it provides WA Police Force officers with a risk assessment framework and a summary of the family violence history of offences.

Superintendent Dean Snashall, technology portfolio at WA Police Force, said that when police officers respond to an incident, “they need accurate and relevant information to inform their decisions while keeping themselves and community members safe”.

“The addition of a new family violence reporting capability is another way this mobile application helps our officers to respond to different kinds of incident,” he said.

This latest expansion is part of Motorola Solutions’ upgrading of the WA Police Force’s public safety mobile application with Apple CarPlay functionality, which was previously announced in March 2022.
