KUALA LUMPUR - All information provided through the Volunteer Smartphone Patrol (VSP) app, especially those related to crimes, will be studied so that immediate action can be taken.
City police chief Datuk Seri Mazlan Lazim said he himself will look at the information provided through VSP before delegating them for further action.
“Police receive a lot of information, including those related to drug activities and accidents through the VSP app. This is good progress.
“As such, members of the public should use the VSP app to help the police combat crimes," he told reporters after attending a High Profile Policing programme at the Low Yat Plaza here yesterday.
Mazlan said last year, a total of 163,000 smartphone users in Kuala Lumpur have signed up for the VSP app to help police fight crime.

The VSP app, launched in 2017, is available for free at Google Play Store and Apple’s App Store.
Meanwhile, Mazlan also urged the public to report immediately any criminal activities happening in their areas.
“Do not take photos first, report the matter to the police immediately for us to take action.
“Police will arrive at the scene quickly, in about 15 minutes,” he said.
As for criminal cases in Low Yat Plaza, he said there had been a drop in numbers, to 19 cases last year compared to 25 the year before. -- BERNAMA
