The Preventive Security Program for victims of an Emergency Protective Measure (MPU) consists of the provision of a device/application – software developed by the State Secretariat for Security, which will be installed on a cell phone device such as a smartphone or a mobile device for preventive tracking protection, activated by the “NEED HELP” button, to be aimed at victims of domestic and family violence crimes who are at extreme risk of violence or Urgent Protective Measure (MPU). The application/device makes it possible to call the police, on a priority basis, with just one touch on the device’s home screen.
