The Korean National Police Agency's main emergency hotline for requesting a police dispatch when you witness a crime or are in a dangerous situation. Calling 112 (no area code) is the standard way to report; if speaking is difficult, the 'Visible 112' text-reporting service lets you send your location through a link so police can respond. The 112 reporting portal (112.go.kr) lets you check the status of a report and find 112-related notices and information on the police station with jurisdiction over your area. It operates 24 hours a day, year-round.
