Yeosu City CCTV Integrated Control Center Plays Key Role in Catching Theft Suspect

Achieved 4,251 Responses to Major Crimes Including the 5 Major Violent Crimes, Fulfilling the Role of Safety Guardian

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] The Yeosu City CCTV Integrated Control Center, which opened in May 2012, operates with professional control personnel and police officers monitoring citizens' safety 24 hours a day, 365 days a year without any gaps.

As a result, it has played a key role in the swift apprehension of suspects during various incidents and accidents, achieving a response record of 4,251 cases including five major violent crimes to date.

According to Yeosu City on the 10th, at around 10:40 p.m. on the 1st, while monitoring a motorcycle theft in Chungmu-dong, the center immediately notified the 112 situation room, leading to the prompt arrest of the suspects at the scene.

The suspects were also suspected of attempted theft earlier that day at around 4:40 a.m., when they were seen pulling on car doors in the Chungmu-dong and Jungang-dong areas, and the center quickly reported this to 112, but the suspects were not apprehended at that time.

In response, the CCTV Integrated Control Center disseminated and familiarized all control personnel with the suspects' descriptions, and a night shift control officer spotted the suspects at around 10:23 p.m., ultimately tracking and arresting them.

Additionally, the Life Safety Experience Center operates various participatory programs such as traffic and fire safety experiences and CCTV emergency bell drills, with over 6,000 visitors including kindergarten and elementary school students touring the facility so far.

A Yeosu City official stated, “We install more than 100 security CCTV cameras annually for the safety of citizens,” and added, “We will continue to do our best to create a smart safety city that citizens can truly feel.”
