The Panic Button, provided by Police Departments and Counseling Centers, allows individuals to discreetly alert the police of serious danger via their mobile phones. It operates as a silent alarm, ensuring the perpetrator remains unaware of the notification to law enforcement. The government emphasizes its commitment to protecting citizens and combating domestic violence. The Panic Button’s extension signifies progress in utilizing technology to save lives and prevent violence, fostering a culture of zero tolerance for abuse.
