[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Heo Seon-sik] On the 1st, Gwangyang City announced that the CCTV Integrated Control Center it operates is playing a significant role in safely protecting citizens from crimes and safety accidents.


The Integrated Control Center, covering an area of 689㎡, is equipped with a police operation room, equipment room, and control room. Currently, a total of 1,011 CCTVs are monitored in real-time 24 hours a day by 17 professional personnel and 2 police officers. Besides crime prevention, it is also operated for purposes such as child safety and cultural heritage surveillance.


Last year, 316 cases related to daily safety, including theft, vandalism, and illegal dumping of garbage, were reported to related agencies and city departments, taking the lead in protecting citizens' safety and property.


Additionally, 808 CCTV video information related to various incidents and accidents was provided to the police station to assist in apprehending criminals. Control center operators also contributed to catching criminals by discovering actual theft scenes and providing descriptions of the suspects to the police.


Furthermore, the center early detected a person setting fire to a banner in the city area, preventing an accident that could have escalated into a large fire. It also detected a person attempting theft by pulling on the doors of dozens of vehicles, leading to real-time cooperation with the police and the suspect's arrest.



Lee Sam-sik, Director of Safety General Affairs, said, “This year as well, we will take the lead in protecting residents not only from crimes but also from disasters through the CCTV Integrated Control Center,” adding, “With a budget of 300 million won this year, we will introduce an intelligent selective control system and do our best to make Gwangyang City even safer.”
