Jeonnam Police Agency and Jeonnam Autonomous Police Committee Launch Intensive Inspection on Illegal Filming During Peak Vacation Season

Formation of Joint Inspection Team for Major Summer Resorts Including Beaches

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] The Jeonnam Provincial Police Agency and the Jeonnam Autonomous Police Committee announced on the 9th that they have designated July and August, the peak summer vacation months, as the "Summer Period Sexual Violence Prevention Enhancement Period" to intensify the prevention of sex crimes.

In particular, as 20 beaches in the province sequentially open starting from the 9th, a joint illegal camera inspection team has been formed in cooperation with local governments and related organizations. Using cutting-edge equipment such as infrared and electromagnetic wave detectors, large-scale inspections are being conducted focusing on restrooms and changing rooms at major vacation spots.

Three beaches in the province with high visitor numbers have been selected to install life-sized "solar-powered LED Podori model panels" featuring police officers holding signs with messages to raise awareness about preventing illegal filming, aiming to maximize the effect of sex crime prevention.

In addition to sex crime prevention activities at vacation spots, big data analysis is being used to identify vulnerable areas by targeting locations where sex crimes have occurred and residences of sex offenders, thereby strengthening proactive patrol activities.

In the event of a sex crime incident, a one-stop service is provided in cooperation with specialized institutions such as the Sunflower Center, allowing victims to simultaneously receive psychological stabilization, counseling, medical, and legal support to ensure there are no gaps in victim protection.

Perpetrators will be dealt with strictly under a zero-tolerance policy, and serious crimes such as habitual offenses, cases with multiple victims, and incidents involving threats to victims using illegal filming materials as leverage will be subject to arrest and investigation as a principle, with strong measures taken.

The Jeonnam Provincial Police Agency and the Jeonnam Autonomous Police Committee stated, "Through this 'Summer Period Sexual Violence Prevention Enhancement Activity,' we need the active interest and participation of all residents to create a vacation environment where people can feel safe from sex crimes."
