Telecoach for Night Walks in Stockholm County

Inhabitants in the County of Stockholm can call a special telephone number, called "Nattknappen" (Night button) if they feel unsafe when walking home at weekend nights. On Fridays and Saturdays between 23:00 - 03.30 everybody in the Stockholm County can call 08-50 44 66 66 and talk to one of 40 trained volunteers, who identifies the position of the caller, where he/she is going and follows the caller via the phone back home. If there should be an incident, the volonteer can call for police assistance. The name Nattknappen refers to the idea to store the phone number as a shortcut in the mobile phone for easy and fast access.
