Gwanak-gu, Caught Hidden Camera Criminal on the Spot with Hawk Eyes!

Immediately report to 112 upon recognizing a crime, share suspect's actions in real-time for decisive arrest... Protecting street safety 24/7 with hawk-eyed surveillance through the Smart Integrated Control Center

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Gwanak-gu (Mayor Park Junhee) announced that it apprehended a hidden camera criminal in a residential area through real-time monitoring of closed-circuit television (CCTV) screens at the Smart Integrated Control Center.

At around 2:53 a.m. on the 7th, a man wearing black clothes (Mr. A) exhibiting suspicious behavior by wandering around a building in a residential area of Gwanak-gu was detected by a CCTV monitoring staff member at the Smart Integrated Control Center.

Mr. A continuously wandered around a semi-basement room with the light on, closely watching the window and showing abnormal behavior such as peeping inside through the window.

Eventually, he took out his cellphone to film and, even when the light was off, did not leave the location and kept peeping into the semi-basement room, displaying dangerous behavior.

The control center staff recognized the criminal act, immediately reported it to 112, requested police dispatch, and simultaneously shared the suspect’s behavior in real time with police officers at the Gwanak Police Station 112 command center. Four police officers were dispatched to the scene and apprehended Mr. A.

Despite the early morning hours when concentration is low, the staff played a decisive role in catching the hidden camera criminal through their sense of duty and experience working at the control center, and received a commendation from the Gwanak Police Station on the 18th.

In fact, last year, the district achieved over 126,000 enforcement and preventive activities such as crime prevention, illegal dumping control, and illegal parking control through CCTV monitoring.

Additionally, 4,570 CCTVs have been installed and operated at 1,398 crime-vulnerable locations within the district, including areas around schools, residential alleys, and parks. At the Integrated Control Center, 16 monitoring personnel work in four teams on three shifts to monitor CCTVs in real time, protecting the community’s safety 24 hours a day.

Mayor Park Junhee said, “The Smart Integrated Control Center is working tirelessly as a vigilant eye 24 hours a day to protect the safety of the community,” and added, “We will continue to do our best to create a safe city, Gwanak, where residents can live with peace of mind.”
