My Police
My Police, In Defense of Society is a smartphone app implemented by the Secretary of Public Security for Mexico City in order to bring police services closer to the citizen and reduce response times of emergency calls. The app offers various services to users such as viewing the area where they are, contacting the nearest police, making emergency calls, validating private security companies, making reports, complaints or suggestions directly to officials against members of the police, theft, surveillance, drug sales, road and traffic. Another service that the app provides is the request to be guarded by police when making withdrawals or bank deposits.

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?
