'Visible 112' helps ensure appropriate response when the caller does not know their location or is unable to speak.


It works by sending the caller a text message with an internet (URL) address to identify the location of the report. The on-site video captured by the mobile phone is also transmitted to the control room.


So far, 661 reports have been received in the Gwangju area.



A Gwangju Metropolitan Police Agency official said, "Through Visible 112, real-time video transmission, location confirmation, and secret chatting are possible," and added, "We ask that it be actively used in emergency situations where speaking is difficult."
