“This
police app is a great addition to our agency” said Public Information Officer Chad Mielke “We can now push out notifications and
alerts and the public has a variety of ways to contacts us. The goal of our
MyPD app is to give the public a one stop app option with plenty of features
and to open the lines of communication.”
Users can
choose not only the Sturgeon Bay Police app, but they also have the option to view other police
departments on MyPD by choosing a different city or state. The app defaults to
the last agency viewed upon opening, this makes it easy to always open just to
the Sturgeon Bay Police Department.
The
department home screen contains a number of features with more located in the
bottom menu which activates upon touch or swipe.
“Our app’s submit a tip or questions and
feedback features allows a user to choose a topic from the forms drop down menu
that best suits them and that message will then be routed to the correct Officer.”
Said Officer Mielke. “Forms can be sent
anonymously to the department, but we encourage an email address or phone
number if you would like a response. Users also have the availability to upload
photos with the app tip and feedback forms. “
As is the case with email, tips, and social media, our app is not for any type of emergency situation. The Sturgeon Bay Police app is for routine questions and information sharing. 9-1-1 is always the method for emergency situations or response.
