TxDPS Mobile App built by MicroAssist--Demo

The app is currently available for iPhone users on the Apple App Store: (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/texas-dps/id902092368?mt=8) and for Android users on Google Play: (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.microassist.texasdps&hl=en). MicroAssist, a technology service provider specializing in facilitating the delivery of State and Local services to the public, announced it has created a mobile app for the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS), which provides up-to-date information on most wanted fugitives and sex offenders, and information related to human trafficking. Another real-time feature allows app users to submit suspicious activity through iWatch Texas for further analysis and processing. MicroAssist’s CEO, Sanjay Nasta, said that following an 18-year track-record of excellence in helping DPS find innovative ways to deliver public safety services to the citizens of Texas, his company was selected to create the department’s app. “It’s the first statewide mobile app of its kind in the U.S. that helps citizens track, identify and report on potential criminal activity. With the rise of the mobile generation, organizations with mission critical content – like DPS – greatly benefit from expanding their reach to a wider and technology-oriented audience. Fortunately, we were able to leverage the work we previously performed for DPS, including the DPS Sex Offender Registry, to create a highly intuitive and easy-to-navigate app that runs on smartphones and tablets running both iOS and Android operating systems,” Nasta added.
