An app has been launched that will enable people to record and report suspected cases of wildlife crime directly to Police Scotland via their iPhone.

The app is the brainchild of former Wildlife Crime Education Officer, Andy Turner who was looking for a way to improve awareness, detection and reporting of wildlife crime throughout Scotland.

The app allows users to access basic guidelines on do’s and don’ts at a crime scene, and complete an on-screen form to record the suspected wildlife crime. Users can also attach two photographs which are automatically tagged with a GPS reference of the location. The information is then sent to Police Scotland by email.”
