[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Hapcheon-gun, Gyeongnam announced on the 28th that it has been finally selected by Gyeongsangnam-do for the ‘Smart Urban Safety Network Integrated Platform Construction Project.’

This project was confirmed as a result of maintaining a close cooperative system with related organizations such as Hapcheon Police Station, and it will receive a special adjustment grant of 600 million KRW from Gyeongsangnam-do.

The county plans to invest a total of 1.2 billion KRW, including 600 million KRW of provincial funds, working in constant collaboration with related organizations such as Hapcheon Police Station, aiming for completion in September this year to perfectly establish a ‘Smart Urban Safety Network’ that protects the lives and property of residents.

This project is an urban safety network construction project that, in the event of emergencies such as crimes and disasters, links the CCTV of the county integrated control center in real-time with the 112 and 119 situation rooms to support emergency rescue and dispatch, crime and fire prevention, and immediate response systems for various disasters and accidents.

Until now, disaster safety systems such as 112 and 119 have been operated separately, limiting the golden time to protect the lives and property of residents in emergencies.

Once the integrated platform is established, the information systems for 112, 119, and protection of socially vulnerable groups (children, dementia patients, etc.) will be linked through the Smart Urban Safety Network Integrated Platform, greatly improving safety services for residents.

Police officers receiving reports will be immediately provided with video footage around the crime scene and information on the suspect’s escape route, enabling rapid arrest of criminals. Additionally, firefighters dispatched to fire scenes will receive real-time site footage and traffic information, allowing them to prepare fire suppression and rescue measures before arriving on site, securing the golden time.

Shin Kwon-jun, Director of Safety General Affairs, said, “By upgrading the urban safety network to a higher level for crime and fire prevention and disaster relief, we expect Hapcheon-gun to enhance the quality of life for residents and enable them to enjoy a more convenient lifestyle.”
