WITNESSES will be able to upload video footage and images directly to Police Scotland as part of a national online reporting tool for major incidents.
The Major Incident Public Portal (MIPP) is a website that will give the public access to various forms in the event of a terror attack, major disaster or a high-profile incident.
It allows people to send information, reports, images and video footage directly to the police casualty bureau and major incident teams.
MIPP was rolled out across Scotland earlier this month by the Major Incident Support and Co-ordination Unit.
Assistant Chief Constable Duncan Sloan, Major Crime and Public Protection, said: “The portal is a quick and easy way for the public to submit information that could be vital in a major incident.”
Police Scotland has recently tested the MIPP functionality when appealing to the public for information regarding the death of Emma Faulds in Ayrshire and the Shona Stevens homicide inquiry in North Ayrshire.
