[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Kyung-pil] Wando-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Shin Woo-cheol) announced on the 22nd that on the 20th, they conducted a simulated training exercise to capture abalone thieves using CCTV and drones in collaboration with the Wando Maritime Police at an abalone farm.

The county planned the training to devise an effective method of capturing criminals by utilizing drones, as it is difficult to chase thieves in the vast sea where the farms are located.

The training scenario assumed that two abalone thieves secretly infiltrated a secluded abalone farm using a small vessel disguised as a fishing boat, illegally harvesting abalone and fleeing.

Wando-gun and the Maritime Police pursued the thieves in real-time using a smart integrated system and drones.

Upon receiving a report from the smart control center operator, the dispatched maritime police received real-time information via the comprehensive situation room’s CCTV monitor and immediately deployed a patrol boat to the crime scene at sea.

The county’s comprehensive situation room relayed information such as identification of the criminal vessel, escape direction, and on-site conditions by viewing the footage transmitted through drones and the control system.

Meanwhile, Wando-gun completed the construction of a smart city integrated platform project after a kickoff briefing in January. Through this system, in the event of various incidents and accidents, the Wando-gun CCTV integrated control center will provide real-time video of the surrounding area to the police 112 situation room, fire department 119 situation room, military units, and maritime police situation room.

The establishment of the smart city integrated platform system is expected to contribute to protecting residents’ safety and valuable property by enabling response within the golden time for rescue and search operations.
