[Asia Economy Reporter La Young-cheol] With the full implementation of the autonomous police system starting July 1, the Gangwon-do Autonomous Police Committee has selected the '3An Movement' as a core strategic task.


According to the provincial autonomous police committee on the 1st, the '3An Movement' stands for the happiness of 'Safety, Security, and Well-being, the three "An"s' (environment is security, traffic is safety, life is well-being).


Specifically, 'environmental security' involves improving residents' anxiety-inducing environments and fostering a safety culture for children and adolescents; 'traffic safety' includes the 5030 Safe Road Project and protection of vulnerable traffic groups; and 'life well-being' focuses on strengthening patrols in vulnerable areas for children and adolescents and resolving anxiety factors related to intoxicated persons and those with mental illnesses.


To ensure the early establishment of the autonomous police system, the goals and direction of the autonomous police have been set from policing activities to police welfare.


Additionally, starting with the first autonomous police project (improving the working environment of district police stations and police boxes), next year plans to implement 'customized welfare point support' for 640 police officers in charge of autonomous police affairs.


The committee plans to recommend to related agencies to address institutional shortcomings revealed during the pilot operation of the autonomous police system, such as incomplete appointment authority, unclear national funding support, and unestablished related regulations.



Song Seung-cheol, chairman of the Gangwon-do Autonomous Police Committee, stated, "As this year is the first implementation of the autonomous police system, we will create a safe environment through policing activities specialized for Gangwon-do, communicate with residents, and carry out necessary projects."
