Jeju Provincial Police Agency

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters (Jeju) Reporter Hwang Jeongpil] The Jeju Provincial Police Agency announced on the 18th that it will carry out special year-end and New Year security activities from the 21st of this month to the 3rd of next month to proactively respond to major crimes and sources of anxiety amid concerns caused by COVID-19.

The police will conduct crime prevention diagnostics targeting small financial facilities and workplaces where women work alone, focusing on vulnerable areas as part of visible crime prevention activities, and will strengthen base and patrol activities centered on commercial areas judged to be vulnerable based on the diagnostic results.

Since the 15th, the police have been inspecting the environment, including the aging of security facilities, in women’s safe return home paths and managed areas under existing supervision, while also conducting detailed diagnostics on vulnerable places such as dark alleys. In particular, areas where crime is a concern will be newly designated, and crime prevention environments will be created in collaboration with local governments and others.

Additionally, to strengthen responses to major crimes that affect perceived safety, the police plan to detect early signs of crime through outreach criminal activities and focus crackdowns on burglary and theft targeting small merchants and the general public, as well as on violent violations of quarantine rules including obstruction of quarantine officials.

Drunk driving will be intensively cracked down on, focusing on areas and times with frequent drunk driving accidents, and active investigations will be conducted on accomplices and abettors who ride in drunk driving vehicles.

When signs of risks such as illnesses among vulnerable groups are discovered during police activities, efforts will be made to eliminate welfare blind spots through cooperation with related organizations.

The police also plan to contribute to community recovery through warm police activities, such as strengthening ‘restorative policing’ that induces dialogue between parties at the early stages of crime and conflict to seek solutions from the victim’s perspective.

A Jeju Police Agency official said, “To create a peaceful year-end and New Year atmosphere, we will focus police capabilities on special security activities and protection of socially vulnerable groups, and actively respond to COVID-19 related reports such as quarantine violations and breaches of administrative orders.”
