e-Government rolls out ePanic Button to Gauteng Citizens
The e-Panic Buttons are instruments that have been identified to assist in fighting crime in our townships, informal settlements, and hostels through providing quicker response times from law enforcement agents to those who are in distress.
The Gauteng Department of e-Government will be distributing e-Panic Buttons to the citizens of Gauteng as part of the new e-Policing initiatives and as part of the elevated priorities for the new mandate of the province by the new Gauteng Premier Mr. Panyaza Lesufi.
The e-Panic button offers a range of features that make it an ideal solution for government departments, including the ability to pinpoint the location of the emergency, connect directly to emergency services, and provide real-time updates to first responders quickly and accurately.
The benefits of implementing e-Panic button technology within a government department, as well as some of the challenges and considerations that must be considered to ensure a successful deployment. The case studies of government departments that have successfully implemented the e-Panic button and the impact it has had on their emergency response capabilities will be implemented starting by the e-Gov department staff members . A pilot project will be conducted in e-Gov internally to ensure that the system is working adequately, all women and people with disabilities from level 1 to 9 will be given first preference.
