Jangseong-gun Installs 'Safety Emergency Bells' to Prepare for Emergency Situations

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Jo Hangyu] Jangseong-gun, Jeollanam-do announced on the 15th that it has installed ‘Safety Emergency Bells’ at the county office and 11 eup and myeon administrative welfare centers.

In case of a dangerous situation at the civil service window, pressing the ‘Safety Emergency Bell’ connects directly to the police station’s 112 center, enabling prompt response to the situation.

The county has taken measures such as operating CCTV and recording phone calls to protect officials and residents from verbal abuse and assault occurring at the civil service window, but there was difficulty in immediate response due to the lack of a system directly connected to the police station.

The Safety Emergency Bell uses a ‘two-way communication system,’ allowing the police station’s 112 center to assess the situation on site when the bell is pressed. Therefore, it is possible to request a quick dispatch without provoking malicious complainants.

Yoo Dooseok, the governor of Jangseong-gun, said, “With the installation of the Safety Emergency Bell, we can provide safer and more comfortable administrative services not only to officials but to all residents,” and added, “We will continue to do our best to create a more thorough and ‘safe Jangseong.’”
