Sounds like a good thing.
A great pity that it's needed at all, on any Camino route.

All you have to do is download the AlertCop app to your telephone and then follow the steps. I believe if your telephone plan does not allow you to make or receive calls within Spain it may not work. I am not sure of this. I always buy a plan from Orange that works great for me and is inexpensive. If you can not speak Spanish I know the instructions are in English and you would be connected to an English Speaking police officer. If they need to come to you for any reason you will need to have your telephone on they can track where you are.

This app I believe is a must if you are walking. Remember it is not only in cases of people breaking the law, threatening you etc. it is in case you have injured yourself, or have a medical emergency, or you are lost and in a situation that you may deem as dangerous. Imagine taking the wrong route on one of the southern caminos in the summer and you are hopelessly lost and without water or shade. It definitely is a must especially for older pilgrims and women. Download it. It is easy to use. Buen Camino and stay safe.
 
Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.
I have the app. The intention of it is great. Easy to use. I also like that there are different icons for various distresses you want to call out for, fast. My favorite icon is "Squatting".
