Autonomous Police Commissioning Ceremony.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] The Hamyang-gun Resident Participation Autonomous Police Council has been launched to provide community-based policing services tailored to local characteristics.

On the 22nd, Hamyang-gun, Gyeongnam Province, held the 'Hamyang-gun Resident Participation Autonomous Police Council Member Appointment Ceremony and Regular Meeting' attended by about 20 people including County Governor Seo Chun-soo, appointed members, and related officials.

The Resident Participation Autonomous Police Council was formed following the full implementation of the autonomous police system on July 1st, aiming to break away from standardized policing activities and provide policing services suited to local conditions, with local residents cooperating and collaborating to solve community issues.

It is composed of three divisions: Community Safety, Women & Youth, and Traffic Safety. The Community Safety division is responsible for installing and operating crime prevention facilities and conducting crime prevention activities. The Women & Youth division carries out prevention activities against the four major types of violence, including abuse prevention for children, the elderly, and the disabled. The Traffic Safety division enforces traffic law violations, supervises businesses, and conducts resident-participation local traffic activities.

At the appointment ceremony, 23 members received their appointment letters. They will discuss and coordinate matters related to cooperation and support in local and policing administration concerning autonomous police affairs, deliberate on policing policy issues according to local characteristics and resident demands, and discuss other necessary matters to promote autonomous decentralization.

Governor Seo Chun-soo said, "Please make efforts to provide community-based policing services tailored to local characteristics to the residents," and added, "The county will also actively strive for the successful establishment of the autonomous police system."
