Gwangyang City CCTV Integrated Control Center Plays Major Role in Arsonist Capture

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] At the CCTV Integrated Control Center in Gwangyang City, Jeollanam-do, a control officer contributed to the capture of a suspect who set fire to a banner by detecting the act during real-time monitoring and cooperating with the police.

According to Gwangyang City Hall, Jeollanam-do, on the 14th, at around 1:44 a.m. on the 13th, a control officer discovered a suspect wandering around 112-20 Gwangjang-ro, Gwangyang City, near Andersen Kindergarten, setting fire to a banner posted on a wall, and promptly reported it to the 112 situation room at 1:46 a.m.

Immediately after the report, patrol cars and fire trucks were dispatched to the scene, but the suspect had already fled. However, after persistent tracking by the control officer, the suspect was found about 300 meters away from the scene attempting to escape in their car, playing a decisive role in the police's capture.

The Gwangyang Police Station plans to present a plaque of appreciation to the control officer who contributed to the arrest.

Park Youngsoo, Director of the Safety General Division, said, “The Gwangyang City CCTV Control Center plays a pivotal role in protecting citizens' safety through crime prevention via real-time monitoring and rapid response when incidents occur. We will continue to do our best to create a safe city and protect the lives and property of citizens.”
