Cheonan-si Distributes 'Body Cams' to Civil Complaint Officers

Worn as a Name Tag Normally, Recording and Filming Functions in Emergencies

Cheonan City in Chungnam Province has fully deployed 'body cams' to protect civil service officers in charge of civil complaints from malicious complainants.

Cheonan City in Chungnam has fully distributed body cameras to protect civil service officers from malicious complainants.

On the 9th and 21st, the city conducted training on responding to malicious complaints and guidelines for operating portable protective equipment for civil service officers at the city hall, two district offices, and town and township offices, and distributed body cameras.

The body cameras provided this time are name tag-shaped devices that can be worn as name tags during normal times and can record audio and video by pressing a button in emergencies.

The city plans to prioritize distributing the body cameras to civil service officers to ensure their safety from illegal acts such as verbal abuse and assault by complainants during civil service interactions and plans to expand the distribution later.

Mayor Park Sang-don said, “I am grateful to the employees who quietly and steadily work despite facing considerable difficulties on the front lines of administration,” and added, “We will continue to actively strive to create a safe working environment free from verbal abuse and assault by malicious complainants.”
