Gyeonggi-do Northern Autonomous Police Committee Establishes 'Crisis Child Response Model'

Deliberation and Resolution on the Plan to Establish a One-Stop Protection System for Children in Crisis

[Asia Economy Reporter Ra Young-cheol] The Northern Gyeonggi Provincial Autonomous Police Committee is taking measures to swiftly and systematically protect children in crisis.

The Northern Autonomous Police Committee recently deliberated and approved the "One-Stop Protection System Establishment Plan for Children in Crisis" as an internal policy of the committee.

According to the Autonomous Police Committee on the 3rd, the "One-Stop Protection System Plan for Children in Crisis" is a measure to strengthen early response capabilities through systematic cooperation between the Northern Gyeonggi Autonomous Police and local governments.

The committee will first select one city or county in the second half of this year as a "Phase 1" measure to pilot the installation and operation of a "Crisis Response Team."

“Abuse Prevention Officers (APO)” and local government officials dedicated to child abuse will work jointly and respond together when a case is reported.

Additionally, the police and local governments will share information and cases, and through a "Policy Advisory Group" including child welfare experts, they plan to refine the "Northern Gyeonggi-type Crisis Child Response Model."

Next year, in "Phase 2," the "Crisis Response Team" will be expanded to other cities and counties, and one "Crisis Child Protection Center" will be established.

Meanwhile, the Northern Gyeonggi Provincial Autonomous Police Committee, launched on July 1 as a consensus-based administrative body under Gyeonggi Province, stated Chairman Shin Hyun-gi said, "We will build close cooperative relationships with each city and county to serve as a safety net for the protection of socially vulnerable groups."
