Kulpa App Being Tested
A digital evidence app being trialled by Jersey police could help domestic abuse victims come forward, it is hoped.
Kulpa has already been tested by Hertfordshire police, which found using the app saved up to seven hours per case.
It can be used by anyone who wants to send evidence - whether it is video, pictures or audio files - and domestic abuse victims can hide the app if needed.

🛡️ Security Corner 🛡️
Data reveals there were 519 reports of pension fraud in total with an average loss of £33,848 per person in 2024.
Reporting analysis suggests the two most prevalent ways criminals targeted victims were investment fraud pressuring tactics, and account takeovers of a victim’s pension scheme by impersonating them.
Action Fraud, with support from the Pension Scams Action Group (PSAG), launched a pension fraud awareness campaign, warning people to take extra measures to protect their pension scheme accounts and to be cautious of investment opportunity offers from criminals that could be targeting them.
Secure your online pension account: the account you use to manage your pension should have a different password to all of your other accounts. Use three random words to create a strong and memorable password, and enable 2-step verification (2SV). For more information visit actionfraud.police.uk
