Maine drug agency creates smartphone app

The Associated Press

AUGUSTA — The Maine Drug Enforcement Agency has a new crime-fighting tool.

The agency says it now has a smartphone application to make it easy for people to contact and send information to MDEA.

The app includes features for submitting tips, feedback and questions, with users having the option of sending information anonymously. It can be downloaded for free by searching "MyPD" or "My Police Department."

Director Roy McKinney says the goal is to increase the flow of information and provide the public with MDEA news and updates.
