Jeonnam Police Agency Deliberates and Resolves 'Elderly Sexual Violence Prevention and Victim Protection Measures'

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] The Jeonnam Autonomous Police Committee held a temporary meeting on the 14th and announced on the 15th that it reviewed and approved three items, including the Jeonnam Police Agency’s “Measures for the Prevention of Elderly Sexual Violence and Protection of Victims.”

The “Measures for the Prevention of Elderly Sexual Violence and Protection of Victims” were prepared to prevent sexual violence against the elderly, which is increasing along with the growing elderly population in Jeonnam, and to protect the victims.

The committee had previously announced its first policy, the “Comprehensive Safety Measures for the Prevention of Elderly Crime Victimization,” and this plan is a customized measure focusing on sexual violence among crimes targeting the elderly.

As part of sexual violence crime prevention activities, the committee plans to promote ▲strengthening connections with living support workers for elderly living alone ▲distribution of smart self-defense devices ▲customized flexible patrols for high-risk groups, and to protect sexual violence victims, it will implement ▲a medical support system for sexual violence victims in island areas ▲and hold integrated solutions for elderly in crisis.

Furthermore, the committee reviewed and approved two items: the operation of a “concentrated crackdown period on drunk driving” during the summer vacation season and the “approval of the police agency’s request for special crackdowns on entertainment facilities to prevent the spread of COVID-19.”

The current drunk driving crackdown will be carried out until August to prevent the spread of drunk driving during the summer vacation period, and it will be conducted while complying with quarantine rules and utilizing non-contact breathalyzers in preparation for COVID-19.

As special crackdowns on entertainment facilities to prevent the spread of COVID-19 are being implemented nationwide, the Jeollanam-do Autonomous Police Committee also plans to conduct special crackdowns in cooperation with the Jeonnam Police Agency and local governments.

Jo Manhyung, chairman of the Jeollanam-do Autonomous Police Committee, said, “Through active communication between institutions, we will continue to develop and implement detailed measures such as the ‘Measures for the Prevention of Elderly Sexual Violence and Protection of Victims’ to ensure that the committee’s first policy, the Comprehensive Safety Measures for the Prevention of Elderly Crime Victimization, can be faithfully implemented.”
