The Seoul Metropolitan Government (SMG) will be expanding its safety program for one-person female households to cover all 25 districts this year from the previous 11 implemented last year.

Seoul’s safety program seeks to provide support to one-person female households as well as businesses that are geographically and environmentally vulnerable to crime.

The SMG will provide one-person female households with safety home security sets comprising a sliding door latch for added door lock security, a portable SOS bell in case of emergency situations, a window lock device that prevents windows from opening more than a certain width, and a smart safety sensor that reports any detected suspicious movement via smartphone.

The SMG will provide one-person female businesses with wireless emergency bells that are connected to the CCTV control rooms of district offices for emergency dispatch.
Applications for both the home security set and wireless emergency bell will be accepted on 18 district office websites starting Jun. 1 to provide assistance to about 1,500 households and businesses.

Additionally, the SMG will formulate a budget for expanded support to districts that weren’t supported in the first half of the year.
