Jeju Police Agency Launches 6th "Walking Around the Neighborhood with a Theme" Event

Activation of Travel Guardian Devices and Olle Trail Patrol Activities

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Jeongpil] Jeju Provincial Police Agency announced on the afternoon of the 28th that it conducted the 6th community policing activity called ‘A Themed Walk Around the Neighborhood’.

The 6th community policing activity was carried out with the themes of ▲Activating Jeju Travel Guardians ▲Patrolling the Olle Trail.

Relevant organizations such as Jeju Special Self-Governing Province Office (Tourism Policy Division) and Jeju Special Self-Governing Province Tourism Association (Jeju Comprehensive Tourism Information Center) supported the activity.

‘Jeju Travel Guardians’ is an emergency reporting device operated since 2012 for the safety of tourists and others. In case of an emergency, pressing the SOS button on the device connects to the 112 emergency call. On-site discussions were held regarding difficulties related to the device.

Since the introduction of a new system last October due to the aging of the existing devices, upgrades such as the enhancement of the system encryption program have been carried out recently, and the service has resumed.

During the ‘Olle Trail Patrol’ activity, in response to the increased preference for domestic travel and outdoor activities due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, patrols were conducted around Jeju Five-Day Market and Olle Trail Course 17. Residents and tourists encountered on the trail were also reminded to comply with quarantine rules.

A Jeju Police Agency official stated, “The ‘Themed Walk Around the Neighborhood,’ originally planned from September to October, showed many advantages during policy implementation, so it will be extended until December.”
