The Ministry of Foreign Trade and Tourism (Mincetur) today invited tourists, operators and providers of tourism services to download the free application "Tourism Police Peru", which offers support to national and foreign visitors who travel in various regions of the country.
The app will be available only on these regions: Tumbes, Piura, Lambayeque, La Libertad, Lima, Callao, Ica, Arequipa and Cusco.
We have tried the app and it is pretty simple. You just need to activate your GPS location, and then notify the authority of your need through the app: police, firemen, neighbourhood patrol or ambulance. After that the authorities will receive your notification and give you a call.
