In order to enhance colleagues’ knowledge on mobile application design and promote the use of digital technology in streamlining police work, the Innovation and Solution Lab (ISLAB) of the Information Systems Wing (ISW) held two sessions of “Force Mobile Application Design Workshop” at the Police Headquarters on March 24 and 25, attracting the participation of more than 80 officers from different units.
Assistant Commissioner (Information Systems) Kwan Chui-ching said in the welcome speech at the workshop that ISW would continue to use innovative technology solutions to boost the efficiency of frontline operation and promote the concept of “Smart Policing” in accordance with the Force’s Strategic Direction of “Embracing the use of technology for policing in the digital age”.
During the workshop, speakers shared the experience of developing “e525”, a mobile application for issuing electronic fixed penalty tickets against illegal parking, as well as the design process and development tools of mobile applications. In the discussion and practice sessions, participants combined the knowledge gained in the workshop and their work experience to put forward their ideas in applying mobile applications in daily police work.
In view of positive responses received, ISLAB will hold two “Force Mobile Application Design Boot Camp - Advanced Edition” to provide an in-depth discussion on mobile application design on
June 9 and 10. The boot camp is now open for registration. Interested colleagues can sign up through the Training Management System.
In order to encourage creativity and facilitate all-round Proof-of-Concept testing, ISW will organise the “Force Mobile Application Design Competition”. ISLAB will select suitable designs from the shortlisted entries and assist in the development of the mobile application so as to bring officers’ innovative ideas into police work. Please refer to the Force NoticeBoard for details.
