Responding to a prolonged problem of possible time delay in attending 110 due to some confusion in locating the caller during emergency, the Xiamen Police is coming up with a the 110 Caller Location System.

 

Xiamen Police will be erecting thousands of signs around Xiamen metropolitan areas and country areas, scattered along buildup areas and as well as remote areas. Each sign (50cm by 30cm) carries its own 7 numbers code.  Each of these 7 digit codes represents a specific location message to the police.

 

When you are in trouble, just call 110 and give the code displayed on the sign board near you.  The police will be able to locate your position instantly and help will be sent without any loss of time. The system, China first, will eliminate a lot of confusion in locating the exact position of the caller and save valuable time during emergency.

 

Sign boards will be placed where they are required most. For instance, in the remote places where there are no significant features or prominent building structures, more signs will be erected. Whereas, in the buildup areas where there are some renounced buildings, less signs will be erected.
