[Asia Economy Reporter Park Hyesook] Incheon City, Incheon Metropolitan Office of Education, and Incheon Police Agency jointly launched the nation's first joint TF organization on the 2nd to enhance regional safety capabilities.

The joint TF consists of 32 departments across six fields: traffic, fire, crime, daily safety, suicide, and infectious diseases.

The TF leaders are jointly held by Park Namchun, Mayor of Incheon, Do Seonghun, Superintendent of Incheon Metropolitan Office of Education, and Kim Byunggu, Chief of Incheon Police Agency, while the TF general manager is the head of the Incheon City Citizen Safety Headquarters.

The joint TF aims to improve the "Regional Safety Index," announced annually at the end of the year by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety since 2015, raise the "Public Perceived Safety Level," surveyed annually by the National Police Agency, and strengthen school safety education to create a city where citizens can live with peace of mind.

Park Namchun, Mayor of Incheon, stated, "We will strengthen regional safety capabilities by collaborating among the three institutions based on accumulated experience in each field, instead of pursuing citizen safety tasks separately by each institution."

Do Seonghun, Superintendent of Incheon Metropolitan Office of Education, also said, "We will prepare thoroughly so that students can continue their learning and growth in a safe educational environment."

Kim Byunggu, Chief of Incheon Police Agency, emphasized, "Safety is an important mission and duty of the police, but to improve overall safety, it is important for related agencies to work together, not just the police. We will do our best to protect citizen safety so that the value of Incheon can rise even further."
