Hwaseong Western Police Precinct Takes the Lead in 182 Phone Number Mobile Promotion

The Hwaseong Western Police Precinct (Precinct Chief Oh Dong-uk) launched a mobile promotional campaign for the 112 and 182 phone numbers on the 2nd, marking the Day of 112.

The 182 number was established as a separate civil complaint counseling window because cases of non-emergency reports made to 112 account for 46.7% of all reports, despite not being urgent matters.

Focusing on the fact that mobile phones are the most familiar devices to modern people, the Hwaseong Western Police Precinct created mobile phone wallpaper images titled "Numbers That Make Our Society Brighter" and "Podo and Posoon's Two Emergency Numbers," and restructured the 112 song produced by the Regional Police Agency as a ringtone. These materials were posted online and on SNS and distributed to approximately 500 employees and cooperative organizations.

Seo Seong-guk, a Police Development Committee member from the Hwaseong Western Police Precinct who received these materials, said, "I wasn't used to changing and customizing ringtones or wallpapers, but I had the chance to do it this time," and added, "Since I frequently look at my phone for work, just after one day has passed, 112 for emergency reports and 182 for civil complaints just come naturally to me."

Meanwhile, the wallpaper images can be downloaded from the Hwaseong Western Police Precinct website and official blog, and are also available on SNS.
