Ministry of the Interior and Safety: "Location Reporting Possible Anywhere with Accurate Address Information"

Loading Base Number Plate and Object Address Plate Information into Dispatch System

On the 12th, the Ministry of the Interior and Safety announced that it will support the installation of basic number plates and object address plates data in the police and fire emergency response system to enable rapid location identification and dispatch.

Until now, locations could be identified using building number plates where buildings exist, and national point number plates in mountainous areas, but it was difficult to confirm locations on roads or vacant lots without buildings. In response, the Ministry of the Interior and Safety has continuously discussed with the police and fire departments the plan to install data from basic number plates and object address plates. The police have completed the installation of basic number plates and object address plates data in the 112 system and will apply it starting from the 13th.

The Ministry of the Interior and Safety expects that enabling emergency response agencies to accurately confirm the location of reporters will shorten the time required for dispatch and contribute to securing public safety. In the future, the Ministry plans to actively expand basic number plates and object address plates in collaboration with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, local governments, Korea Electric Power Corporation, and others to support location identification and rescue activities.

Minister Sang-min Lee stated, “Address information is a crucial national infrastructure closely related to national administration and citizens' lives,” and added, “We will continue to actively promote policies that expand the use of address information through collaboration with various agencies to make the public safer and more convenient.”
