[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Cheol-young] The Seoul Metropolitan Autonomous Police Committee selected 18 initiatives implemented from November last year to March this year as exemplary cases for "Police Station-specific Policies to Solve Local Issues" and awarded commendations to meritorious police officers.

According to Seoul City on the 29th, Kim Hak-bae, Chairman of the Seoul Metropolitan Autonomous Police Committee, visited Eunpyeong Police Station on the 26th and jointly with related organizations, awarded commendations to two meritorious individuals who raised awareness about child abuse and contributed to crime prevention in unmanned stores, encouraging them.

Earlier, on the 25th, he visited Gangseo Police Station and awarded a commendation to a meritorious individual who promoted the ‘Ordinance Enactment’ and ‘Securing 24H Mental Emergency Beds in Gangseo-gu’ together with Gangseo District Office and others for the Gangseo mental emergency response system. The ‘Securing 24H Mental Emergency Beds in Gangseo-gu’ is a nationwide first case where the local community established a joint response system for citizen safety amid increasing social risks due to the rise in mental illness patients.

The discovered exemplary cases will be actively commended and shared with all police stations in the Seoul area to encourage collaboration with local communities.

Chairman Kim Hak-bae said, “Since each police station is promoting extensive collaboration with the respective district offices, it seems that customized public safety services tailored to local characteristics are expanding and taking root,” adding, “We will discover various public safety policies that activate local residents' participation and promote and support them.”
