What is the NP Tracker Project?
NP Tracker started off to help my local community to store suspect vehicles and evolve from the local spreadsheet approach, we soon realised that a central database was needed between our communities and groups. Today we scan and monitor all major crime-fighting initiatives and groups in and around South Africa.
Why is low volume use and enquiries FREE?
We decided early on that we need to do something in South Africa to stop/limit crime and not exclude the individuals that can and want to do something. Concluding our platform is open and FREE for low volume usage (Donations is welcomed) however medium to high usage users are charged a minimum fee to maintain our services.
What is NPS-API for?
NPS-API is our API where existing LRP systems can intergrate to to include the National Suspect Vehicle Database see What is NP Tracker.
How can you HELP?
