AlertCops, even closer to deaf people
AlertCops reinforces its commitment to universal access to citizen security, bringing its emergency services closer to deaf people and those with hearing disabilities through a specific configuration within the application, fully integrated into its usual operation.
Thanks to this, deaf people can communicate directly, discreetly, and effectively with the National Police and the Civil Guard through the app's chat, without the need to make phone calls, facilitating access to security and emergency services throughout the national territory.
During the validation process or later from their profile, users can indicate that they have a hearing disability. This information is clearly displayed in the police rooms when an alert is received, allowing operators to adapt the attention from the first moment, prioritizing written communication and the exchange of information through the chat.
When a deaf person requests help using the 'Report a danger' option, the application allows them to choose the type of assistance needed (police, medical, firefighters, or other types of emergency) and manage all communication in writing, ensuring an appropriate response to each situation.
In addition, AlertCops offers other highly valuable features in terms of self-protection and prevention, such as the SOS Button, the Accompany Me service, the Event Guardian, location sharing with trusted contacts, and the reception of geolocated safety notices and alerts, all of which are fully accessible to people with hearing disabilities.
With these measures, AlertCops strengthens its commitment to inclusive security, enabling deaf people to access public security services on equal terms, autonomously, and at any point throughout the national territory.
