Emergency Help Points are installed throughout the borough in town centres, coastal areas and close to other places where people are likely to gather or visit.
At each help point there is a direct, two-way audio connection with the council’s Emergency Control Centre that people can use if they find themselves in difficulty or danger. The help points are backed up by CCTV surveillance cameras so officers can immediately monitor the situation and alert emergency services if necessary.
The Emergency Help Points are clearly identifiable by distinctive yellow signage directing people to the audio connection.
The first 24 help points were funded by Merseyside Violence Reduction Partnership and Wirral Community Safety Partnership.
