Gangseo-gu Intensively Inspects for Illegal Camera Installations in Schools

Inspection Focused on High-Risk Areas for Illegal Filming Such as Restrooms and Changing Rooms at 82 Schools Until September 3

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Gangseo-gu, Seoul (Mayor Noh Hyun-song) has launched preventive activities to stop the frequent occurrence of digital sex crimes.

The district announced that it will conduct intensive inspections targeting 82 schools in the area to eradicate illegal filming within schools.

Recently, illegal filming crimes have occurred in schools in other regions, causing considerable anxiety among students, parents, and school staff.

Accordingly, the district formed an inspection team of 30 members, including 8 Illegal Filming Citizen Surveillance Team members, 8 Women Safety Guards, and 14 Gangseo Safety Keepers, to conduct focused inspections on illegal filming within schools.

The inspection targets include 35 elementary schools, 22 middle schools, 23 high schools, and 2 special schools. The inspection period is from the 23rd to September 3rd.

The inspection team, organized in pairs, selects locations within schools where illegal filming cameras are likely to be installed, such as restrooms and changing rooms, and thoroughly checks for suspicious objects, unidentified scratches, and holes with the naked eye.

Afterwards, using inspection equipment such as radio wave detectors and lens detectors, they meticulously inspect electrical devices like outlets, screws, switches, ventilation openings, and trash bins.

In particular, they plan to focus inspections on the lower parts of restrooms and wall holes where illegal filming cameras are mainly installed.

If suspicious traces are found during the inspection process, they will immediately report to the police, and scratches or holes suspected of illegal filming will be promptly repaired by requesting the school to fix them after the inspection.
