Development Team:
The app was developed by the Colombian National Police's technology department. The team specializes in government-grade security software, focusing on data encryption and internal system integration. Since it is a government project, its commercialization is limited, and updates depend on the allocation of institutional budgets.
Competitive Products:
- Colarm (Police Collaboration Tool): Supports cross-department collaboration but is developed by a third party, leading to weaker data security.
- Duty Manager (Duty Management App): Features a more modern interface but lacks official integration functions.
