(Provided by Seoul City),
,
, “(Seoul=News1) Reporter Kwon Hye-jung = Recently, as citizen interest in daily safety is high, with 20,000 applications for the portable safety bell ‘Help Me’ provided by Seoul City being sold out within 100 minutes of the start of applications, Seoul City distributed 5000 sets of safety lights for single-person stores as part of Mayor Oh Se-hoon’s ‘daily safety’ policy for 1-person stores working alone. “,
,
, “Seoul City announced on the 13th that last month, it distributed 5000 sets of ‘1-person store safety lights’ to cafés, beauty salons, nail shops, and other 1-person stores working alone to ensure their safety. Following the early closure of the prepared quantities within days of application, requests for additional support have continued until recently. “,
,
, “‘1-person store safety lights’ work by pressing an emergency bell when an emergency situation occurs, causing a flashing light outside the store and sounding a siren. At the same time, the police stationed in the district control center confirm the location and nearby CCTV, and request the police patrolling nearby patrol cars to respond. “,
,
, ‘The city reported that more and more store owners are experiencing the effectiveness of safety lights. Many expressed that just the fact that safety lights are installed in their stores gives them peace of mind.’,
,
, ‘Seoul City plans to continue the project until 2025, taking into account comments on the application page and citizens’ opinions on-site.’,
,
, ‘Looking at the stores where safety lights were distributed, there were 499 male-owned stores (10.0%) and 4501 female-owned stores (90.0%), showing a high proportion of female applications. By age group, those in their 50s were the most common with 1493 people (29.9%), while those in their 20s were the least with 137 people (2.7%). By industry, beauty salons were the most common with 1207 stores (24.1%), followed by real estate brokers with 809 stores (16.2%).’,
,
, ‘On the 13th, Mayor Oh Se-hoon visited a single-person store (nail shop) in Jung-gu equipped with safety lights to directly inspect the process of safety light operation and police dispatch in case of an actual danger situation. ‘,
,
, ‘The event proceeded with an explanation of the purpose and usage of the 1-person store safety lights, followed by a demonstration of the effects and performance of the safety lights. The demonstration progressed in the order of intruder entry → safety light operation → confirmation by the control center and text message to the guardian → police dispatch.’,
, “Meanwhile, the portable safety bell, another representative project of ‘Oh Se-hoon’s daily safety’ initiative, is also sailing smoothly amidst strong public support. ‘Help Me’ is a portable safety bell in the form of a ‘Hae-chi’ character keyring that can be attached to a bag for everyday use, and when a dangerous situation arises, pressing the button triggers an emergency alert with a warning sound. The plan is to distribute a total of 50,000 units by the end of the year, and the first batch of 20,000 units sold out within 100 minutes of the start of applications on the 5th. “,
, ‘Mayor Oh expressed hope that the safety lights, which automatically report in case of a crisis, would help prevent crime and ensure the safety of single-person store owners, saying, “In the future, Seoul City will prioritize the safety of its citizens and do its best to implement the safe-special city initiative.”‘,
