Oh Gyu-seok, the head of Gijang-gun, explained, "Among basic local governments nationwide, our county achieved the best results by receiving Grade 1 in five categories. The high regional safety index reflects the active interest and participation of local residents and staff, enabling the establishment of a public-private cooperation system for safety."

Mayor Oh added, "With the goal of creating an even safer city, we will establish a proactive disaster prevention and response system and collaborate with related organizations such as the police and fire departments to promote improvement projects in vulnerable areas such as crime."
