On 4th December 2013 An Garda Síochána launched a Smartphone App for Child Rescue Ireland (CRI) Alert.
CRI Alert is a system that publicises details of an abducted child and is designed to seek public assistance.
This Child Rescue Ireland (CRI) Alert App has two features:
App Feature 1
People who have downloaded the Child Rescue Ireland (CRI) Alert App will be notified each time a CRI alert is issued. The notice will provide the details of the abducted child/children and any other relevant information. They will be able to share the CRI Alert notification on Facebook, as well as being able to contact An Garda Síochána at 112 or 999.
App Feature 2
Parents/Guardians can save their own children’s information in a secure area on their phone so that should their child go missing they will immediately have the information to hand that will permit them to accurately inform the relevant authorities. This information is saved only to the phone.
This Child Rescue Ireland (CRI) Alert App is free to download. It is available now on Apple, Android and Windows Media platforms.
