Screenshots
OIJ CR Safe is a mobile phone application developed by Costa Rica's Judicial Investigation Police (OIJ) to help tourists stay safe while visiting the Central American country. The app offers resources in both English and Spanish for nationals and visitors, and large sections of the application work offline, making it accessible even without an internet connection. Upon launching the app, users can choose their preferred language and nationality (Resident or Tourist).
For tourists, the app provides shortcuts to emergency and non-emergency phone numbers, a phone book for OIJ locales, basic safety tips, and links to OIJ's official social media channels. For Costa Rican nationals, the app offers a write-in service to debunk hoaxes, a more comprehensive set of safety tips, a link to OIJ's most-wanted suspects, and an OIJ recruitment handbook. Additionally, the app includes a tip line to report crimes and a map of Judicial Investigation Police offices across the country. OIJ CR Safe is a free app available for Android devices and falls under the category of Business & Productivity.
