[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Seo Young-seo] Muan Police Station (Chief Kim Hak-nam) announced on the 14th that it was recently selected for an environmental improvement project to prevent crimes against women, securing 10 million KRW in national funding and completing environmental improvements on the women’s safe return path at the back gate of Mokpo National University.

The women’s safe return path at the back gate of Mokpo National University has a high incidence of the five major crimes, including sexual offenses. In response, a community policing council was formed with related organizations such as the county office, and CCTV and emergency bells were installed. Additionally, the installation of women’s safe return path guide maps has strengthened territoriality to deter criminals’ intent to commit crimes.

In particular, Mokpo National University students and nearby residents expressed their gratitude, saying, “The street used to feel unsafe at night because it was dark, but thanks to the solar safety lights (security facilities that emit light charged by solar power) around, the street is brightly lit.”

Kim Hak-nam, Chief of Muan Police Station, stated, “Through environmental improvements on the women’s safe return path, we aim to prevent crime occurrences and realize a safe society without crime through community policing.”
