[Jeju=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Jeongpil] The Jeju Police Agency (Chief Go Gi-cheol) announced on the 22nd that it has formed and will operate a "Women’s Violence Response TF Team" as its first policy after inauguration.

The deputy chief of the Jeju Police Agency will serve as the TF team leader, organizing the team into three units: policy, support, and comprehensive investigation. They plan to promote policies that gain public sympathy by involving local governments, the 1366 Center, related organizations, and external experts.

First, the Jeju Police Agency will re-examine the measures to strengthen personal protection that have been operated so far and refer to countermeasures from other city and provincial police agencies to prepare a multifaceted and comprehensive response plan.

In particular, appropriate measures will be taken against perpetrators, including protection of victims based on various circumstances, isolation through provisional and temporary measures, and rapid reflection of any changed risk factors afterward.

The policy team will establish and implement major promotion plans to build an “on-site full-force system” against sexual and domestic violence, check and supplement progress, and prepare solutions and improvements through collective intelligence when major incidents occur.

The support team will collaborate with the Autonomous Police Committee to promote the enactment of local government ordinances and budget allocation, and prepare safety and protection equipment support plans for victims.

The comprehensive investigation team will monitor all stages of reported cases, from “on-site action-investigation-victim protection,” reassess risks, and conduct a special comprehensive investigation by January 7 of next year.

Go Gi-cheol, chief of the Jeju Police Agency, said, “Protecting the lives and safety of the people is the most important value of the police,” and added, “We will do our best to refine the crisis response system for crimes of violence against women.”
