Seoul boasts the worlds highest level of public safety, but social anxiety persists due to incidents and accidents that occur in blind spots of the existing public safety system, such as crimes with unusual motives. The portable safety bell Help Me is a key ring-type device that, when pressed in an emergency situation, sends a report to the CCTV control center of the autonomous district, and was designed to ensure the timely safety of each citizen in their daily lives.

Background and purpose of policy introduction
