Suwon Paldal Police Station Breaks Ground in August

[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] The construction of the fourth police station in Suwon, Gyeonggi Province, the 'Paldal Police Station,' is being actively promoted. On the 22nd, Suwon City announced that it conducted an on-site inspection at the planned construction site of the Paldal Police Station located at 237-24 Jidong, Paldal-gu.

The Paldal Police Station building construction project, promoted by the Southern Gyeonggi Provincial Police Agency, received project cost approval from the Ministry of Strategy and Finance on the 1st and will begin construction in August.

Accordingly, the city conducted the on-site inspection to ensure that the construction of public spaces and access roads near the Paldal Police Station can proceed promptly and smoothly in the future.

The on-site inspection was attended by Cho Cheong-sik, Acting Mayor of Suwon, along with senior officials from related departments.

The establishment of the Paldal Police Station is a project actively pursued by Suwon City to ensure the safety of Suwon citizens.

In the old downtown area, which had slow development due to restrictions on development activities because it encompasses Suwon Hwaseong Fortress, there was a surge in security demand after a violent crime occurred in 2012. In response, Suwon City officially requested the expansion of police stations in 2015.

Additionally, the city actively raised the necessity to align the boundaries of administrative districts (4 districts) and police jurisdictions (3 police stations), gathered residents' opinions to request the establishment of the police station, and cooperated in the site selection process.

Especially after deciding to establish the Paldal Police Station in Jidong, the city took charge of compensating 99 households across 100 land parcels in the project site and completed 100% relocation registration in February last year, about two years later, actively supporting the Southern Gyeonggi Provincial Police Agency's project promotion.

Cho Cheong-sik, Acting Mayor of Suwon, emphasized, "During the construction, we will manage the environment and risk factors safely and thoroughly to prevent the site area from becoming a high-crime zone," and added, "We will spare no administrative support to ensure the smooth opening of the Paldal Police Station."
