Press Release: Texas DPS Mobile App Built by Microassist

Texas DPS Mobile App Built by Microassist

App to inform Texans about fugitives, sex offenders, human traffickers

Austin, Texas—August 20, 2014 – 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.

The new Texas DPS mobile app has a very clean, organized look with four main programs – Fugitives, Sex Offenders, Human Trafficking, iWatch Texas – immediately viewable from the home-page. There is also a Featured News section at the very top that offers breaking news on a variety of DPS-related topics.

“With a more mobile citizenry comes a host of new development challenges, including adding interactive elements like mapping and geolocation functionality, so that users can retrieve information from addresses or current location of the mobile device – which we were pleased to be able to do with this app,” said Nasta. “This Texas DPS mobile app is designed to provide immediate value for the citizens of Texas, and is also flexible enough for DPS to add other features and services in the future.”

The mobile app is available here for download on Android and iOS.
