IG unveils quick response app for Ogun schools

The Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, launched the VGS—VIGISCOPE app, a tool for fast emergency reporting and response in schools nationwide. The app was introduced at the end of a two-day seminar (Nov 26-27, 2024), during the launch of the Safe School Protection Squad. According to Ogun State Police P.R.O. Omolola Odutola, the app connects to a central base in Abuja, allowing quick emergency alerts and responses. It helps improve crime resolution and provides police access to hard-to-reach areas, enabling students and school principals to report incidents or request assistance in emergencies via smartphone.
