'Hawk Eye' security app will keep track of emergencies, wanted persons

The Chairman Web Asset Ltd., (a Lagos-based technology company) and developer of the Hawk Eye App, Mr. Kayode Aladesuyi says the new offering can be used to track national emergencies and track most wanted persons.

He stated this at the launch of Hawk Eye- a mobile app that is expected to use innovative technology to checkmate crime in Nigeria.

He also informed that the app has the ability to select crime types, capture and send videos, images or text messages of the crime and direct these to appropriate security authorities for immediate action.

“We are always looking for better and more contemporary ways of safeguarding lives and private properties, including public utilities. The app which is a niche crime reporting app, will address the infrastructural gap in the area of emergency response system through internet-enabled mobile phones. The app also provides an alternative, fast and easy way of tackling security issues with exposure to lesser risks.

Aladesuyi said the app could be useful in finding a solution to the menace of utility and energy theft plaguing the electricity sector and can also notify police or family members in the event of kidnapping.

“Hawk Eye enables officers in the field to receive dispatched incidents and option to file reports in real-time even while in remote locations. Through its unique offering of Global Announcement feature, the app allows communication with different communities on national emergencies, most wanted persons, among other emergencies. In addition, Hawk Eye provides a FindMe feature for users to notify Rapid Response units or family members in the event of kidnapping incidents,” he said.
