The DCSP has launched a community safety app with resources to enhance personal safety for any community member while in the downtown area.<\/p>\n
Resources include safety contact numbers for various downtown organizations as well as links to request courtesy\/safe walks, location identification services, and maps and guides to help navigate downtown services and amenities.<\/p>\n
A highlighted feature is the \u201cFriend Walk\u201d which allows you to send your location to a friend so they can track your movement in real time as you walk to your destination. If required, a \u201cpanic\u201d button can be activated, which notifies your friend and starts an emergency call.<\/p>\n
Community members can also connect directly to the DCSP through 211 Manitoba to report a non-emergency community concern such as an individual requiring connections to resources, or a wellness check.<\/p>\n
The DCSP app is available for download from your favourite app store \u2013 Google Play<\/a> and Apple<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":575,"template":"","news-category":[11],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dcsp.ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/437"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dcsp.ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dcsp.ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/news"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dcsp.ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/575"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dcsp.ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=437"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"news-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dcsp.ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news-category?post=437"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
