The Federal Police Commission, in collaboration with the Artificial Intelligence Institute, launched the EFP Citizen Engagement App (EFPApp). This initiative is part of the Digital Ethiopia strategy, which aims to deliver essential services to citizens.
Over the past six years, the Federal Police has transitioned from analogue to digital systems.. Available on the App Store and Play Store, this app enables citizens to actively participate in preventing criminal activities by providing tips via photo, video, voice, documents, or direct calls. I urge all citizens to be proactive in securing our neighborhoods and cities.
