Alertos
Alertos is a platform for citizen reporting on security. It allows citizens to report and geolocate, through their website, by e-mail or text messages, cases of: assault, extortion, homicide, robbery, drug dealing, rape, domestic violence, as well as cases in which criminals are captured. The platform is funded by private companies, and has no direct link with the policing sector or any other public bodies. However, it allows the State to follow-up and involves citizens in the fight against crime.
Institutional design
Formalization: is the innovation embedded in the constitution or legislation, in an administrative act, or not formalized at all?
Frequency: how often does the innovation take place: only once, sporadically, or is it permanent or regular?
Mode of Selection of Participants: is the innovation open to all participants, access is restricted to some kind of condition, or both methods apply?
Type of participants: those who participate are individual citizens, civil society organizations, private stakeholders or a combination of those?
Decisiveness: does the innovation takes binding, non-binding or no decision at all?
Co-governance: is there involvement of the government in the process or not?
