Seoul Police Hold 'Stalking Crime Response Improvement TF' Meeting... Discussing Improvement Measures

[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Jung-yoon] In relation to the controversy over the police's inadequate response in the stalking murder case in Jung-gu, Seoul, the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency held a task force (TF) meeting to diagnose the problems and prepare practical improvement measures.

On the morning of the 26th, the Seoul Police Agency, chaired by Chief Choi Gwan-ho, held the 'Stalking Crime Response Improvement TF' meeting to discuss the overall handling of the case, including receipt and initial response, stalking crime response process, and victim protection measures such as personal safety protection.

Furthermore, they analyzed the systemic issues revealed in this case and decided to conduct an in-depth diagnosis of areas requiring practical and institutional supplementation to prepare effective alternatives.

The Seoul Police Agency plans to first establish a three-dimensional analysis and response system that actively reflects the content of reports rather than focusing solely on the report codes for 112 emergency calls. The report codes refer to classifications from 0 to 4 based on the urgency and necessity of dispatch, determined by the 112 call receiver according to the report content.

Additionally, for stalking crimes, they plan to prepare comprehensive and specific improvement measures such as processing cases even before investigating the victim and the suspect.

Moreover, the TF plans to introduce an early warning system that allows for careful assessment of the risk level and severity of stalking crimes at the field level, enabling appropriate step-by-step measures. Through this, they will establish judgment criteria and response plans for each stage such as 'Interest - Caution - Alert - Serious,' focusing on securing public safety through proactive measures against stalking crimes.
