Custom Patrol App for Malaysian Police – Petroleum Security Operations

Project Overview

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

Project 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
Improved security presence in petroleum-sensitive areas

Technologies Used

Mobile App:

Flutter (Cross-platform mobile development)
Google Maps SDK for real-time location and geofencing
SQLite & Cloud Sync for offline support
Firebase for real-time alerts and backups (optional)

Backend:

Python (Odoo) for duty assignment, FIR management, and analytics dashboard
PostgreSQL for storing patrol logs, FIRs, officer data
REST API for seamless communication between app and backend
Geo-fencing Engine to detect arrival and departure from designated zones

Admin Dashboard:

Built using Odoo Web Interface
Includes role-based access (Admin, Supervisor, Officer)
Visual summaries of active patrols, pending FIRs, and performance metrics
