[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Chunsu Kim] As the full-scale harvest season begins, thefts targeting agricultural and livestock products are increasing, requiring special caution.


The Jeonnam Provincial Police Agency and the Jeonnam Autonomous Police Committee announced on the 16th that they are focusing all efforts on preventing agricultural product theft for 82 days from the 10th of this month to November 30th, and are conducting their own campaign called "Suspicious, Suspect, Photograph (Su·Ui·Sa)" for prevention activities.


The "Su·Ui·Sa" campaign reflects the characteristics of Jeonnam, where the elderly population (65 years and older) accounts for 23.5% of the total population (Source: Jeonnam Provincial Government 2020 Resident Registration Population Statistics) and many areas lack security infrastructure such as CCTV, especially in farming and fishing villages. It aims to raise autonomous crime prevention awareness among residents of natural villages.


In farming, fishing, island areas, and natural villages, if residents witness suspicious vehicles or suspicious harvesting activities by people who are not the owners, they are encouraged to use their mobile phones to take photos and report to the local safety police officers. This will be used to verify criminality and serve as clues for investigations.


Additionally, residents’ demands for security and safety will be conveyed to local governments to improve vulnerable facilities and environments. Incentives such as certificates of appreciation and reward money for reports will be actively provided to residents who contribute to crime prevention and arrests.



A representative of the Jeonnam Provincial Police Agency stated, “With the implementation of the autonomous police system, we will continue to provide customized security services tailored to regional characteristics,” and added, “We will make every effort to secure public safety so that Jeonnam residents can live with peace of mind by conducting proactive crime prevention activities.”
