The federal government is implementing a new stage of the program Safe cell phoneIn order to combat the theft and theft of mobile devices in the country.
The measure, which must enter into force until next Friday (4), includes sending Features of stolen or stolen mobile phones That was rehabilitated with a new phone line.
According to the new guidelines, the owner of the device will receive a message stating that he needs to return the device at the civil police station closest to his residence and provide clarification. If there is no return, the individual may be the subject of the investigation of theft, theft, the reception, or the criminal assembly.
The tool was launched in December 2023. In the first six months of jobs, the platform has banned more than 60,000 devices.
Piaui measuring inspiration
The program inspiring the program came from the Cellguard application, which was developed by the PIAUí government, with the aim of reducing the theft and theft of mobile phones. The Ministry of Justice and Public Security expressed its interest in integrating Cellguard technology into the safe cell program.
Understanding PiaUí to restore stolen mobile phones
The difference between a safe mobile phone and the Piauí initiative is to maintain the electronic device. In the event of theft or theft, the federal government platform banned the phone line, and accesses the financial services and the device itself, which makes it “use of non -feasible minerals.” The Piauiense app can maintain the integrity of the mobile phone, provided that it is recorded in the app.
The request was created by the intelligence team at the PIAUí Public Security Office and was launched in September 2023. It works by the director of integrated operations (SOI) and focuses on the entire work, including the search and the site and the restoration of mobile phones in the state.
The list entered by the Piauí government uses a database with all IMEis (the symbol that determines the entire mobile device) registered in reports of the cell phone theft for several years.
CEARENSE case
The cell phone program in CEARK was developed in the same way as the Piauienese platform. The system created by Coter/SSPDS – Coordination of IT and Communications Technology of the Secretariat of Public Security and Social Defense of CEARá, with the aim of reducing the crimes of theft and theft of mobile phones.
The user records a mobile phone, provides some personal information, and can alert police authorities if he is a victim of theft or theft.
Safe mobile functions
The program provides two main options for users: lock mode and total recovery. In the total blockade, the phone line is completely disabled, as well as all accounts associated with partner institutions. In addition, IMEI (device definition number) is locked, making the device unusable.
The recovery mode allows to ban the phone line and relevant accounts, but it allows the device to return to the phone network as long as a new slice is installed. This option aims to facilitate the device’s recovery in cases of loss or theft without criminal intention.
Control of organized crime
The initiative is part of the wider government’s effort to combat organized crime related to the cell phone theft. The draft law aims to increase the qualified reception penalty currently exists at the president’s table for analysis.
The recently launched cellular app has received thousands of downloads, indicating the population’s interest in mobile phone safety tools. These measures are expected to significantly reduce theft and stealing of mobile phones, especially in large cities where the problem is more clear.
