Gyeongnam Autonomous Police Committee Holds Touring Meetings in 18 Cities and Counties of Gyeongnam Province

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Sang-hyun] The Gyeongsangnam-do Autonomous Police Committee announced on the 8th that it will hold a "Visiting City and County Meeting" to establish a communication foundation at the basic local government level that links local administration and public safety administration.

The autonomous police system, implemented nationwide since July 1, is a metropolitan-level autonomous police system, making it difficult to reflect the regional characteristics and residents' demands at the basic level. Therefore, cooperation and understanding from basic local governments are essential for the stable establishment of the system.

To this end, starting with Changnyeong-gun on the 9th, the committee will tour 18 cities and counties within the jurisdiction, holding meetings with each city and county, police stations, and education support offices to enhance the understanding and participation of basic local governments in autonomous police operations.

About 10 people from each institution will attend, including heads of departments related to autonomous police affairs (such as community safety, women and youth, traffic, etc.) from each city and county, police stations, and education support offices.

Beginning with these meetings, the committee plans to form a "Resident Participation Autonomous Police Council" at the basic local government level and assign dedicated officials to each city, county, and police station to establish a multifaceted communication and cooperation system with local communities and related organizations.

In particular, to promote public safety policies reflecting residents' opinions, civic groups closely related to autonomous police affairs will also be included in the council, expecting it to serve as a communication channel with residents.

Kim Hyun-tae, Chairman of the Gyeongsangnam-do Autonomous Police Committee, said, "For autonomous police to take root stably, civil-government-police cooperation at the basic local government level is important," adding, "We will continuously provide opportunities for communication to develop policies that resonate with the residents of the province."
