AN Garda Síochána have unveiled a newly developed mobile app for people to record their personal property.
Clare Crime Prevention Officer Sergeant Triona Brooks explains, “The new Property App supports An Garda Síochána’s efforts to encourage people to clearly mark their property and make a record of it – property that is well marked is less attractive to a thief and more difficult to sell on.”
The app enables you to take photographs and record receipts, store registration codes and property markings.
Any information entered into the app is either stored locally on the device or backed up to your cloud account. No data will be stored by An Garda Síochána, she outlines.
If the user’s property recorded is stolen they can use the report feature on the app to report the theft to An Garda Síochána.
“In addition, having a record on the app about your property will greatly assist investigating Gardaí in the event of a theft.
“Also, property recovered by An Garda Síochána can be more easily returned to its rightful owner.”
The app can be downloaded on any Smart device from the Apple Store and Android Play.
