Custom Patrol App for Malaysian Police – Petroleum Security Operations
MOSES (Mobile Security Enforcement System) is a mobile application developed by Geelani Consultancy & Solutions for the Malaysian Police Force to manage and monitor security patrols of petroleum zones and high-risk infrastructure.
The app was designed to streamline duty assignments, live patrol tracking, and on-site incident reporting for field officers. By digitizing and centralizing these operations, MOSES has improved response time, accountability, and documentation of patrol activities.
Goals
Eliminate manual hotel booking coordination for crew layovers
Enable GPS-based tracking of patrol activity
Provide location-aware task interaction (e.g., alerts only in assigned areas)
Allow direct incident reporting (e.g., FIR submission) via mobile
Record and audit all activity for review and compliance
Improve security coverage of petroleum zones
How the App Works
1. Duty Assignment
Admins assign duty zones and patrol areas to officers through the backend.
Officers log in to the app and view their assigned location.
2. Start Patrol
Officers click the “Start” button in the app.
GPS tracking begins automatically, logging movement and route to the assigned area.
3. Location-Aware Alerts
Once the officer reaches the designated location, a popup alert is triggered.
The app enables next-step actions only within the assigned zone (to ensure physical presence).
4. Area Status Reporting
Officer chooses between:
“Issue Found” – Launches FIR/incident report form with photo, location, and description
“All Clear” – Submits a no-issue report with timestamp and location verification
5. Repeat for Each Area
Officers patrol multiple checkpoints in a shift.
Each location has its own submission and timestamp trail.
6. Backend Logs and Reports
Admin dashboard captures:
Patrol route maps
FIRs submitted
Time taken per zone
Missed check-ins or delays
Outcomes & Impact
- Reduced patrol reporting time by 60%
- Eliminated manual paperwork with fully digital FIR submission
- Increased accountability through GPS-based patrol validation
- Real-time visibility into field activity
