[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Du-yeol] The Busan Metropolitan Autonomous Police Committee will promote various publicity activities to raise public awareness of the autonomous police system in celebration of the first anniversary of the full implementation of the autonomous police system on the 1st.

Since its launch, the committee has been promoting the autonomous police system through media campaigns using TV and radio, as well as public transportation facilities, but public awareness remains relatively low.

To increase awareness, the committee is planning promotional measures that allow citizens to easily experience autonomous police affairs in their daily lives and is collaborating with the Busan Police Agency and others to carry out these promotions.

Looking at the promotional plans being implemented by police stations, Dongnae Police Station plans to install logo lights to ensure pedestrian safety in high-crime areas, combining crime prevention and public safety policy promotion.

Haeundae Police Station will produce a webtoon to prevent digital sex crimes such as illegal filming that occur every summer at Haeundae Beach.

Nambu Police Station plans to operate a digital police station, including a victim counseling center for school violence and child abuse using the metaverse.

At Bukbu Police Station, efforts are underway to build public safety infrastructure to improve safety that citizens can feel, such as installing logo lights in multi-traffic areas and vulnerable locations.

Finally, Geumjeong Police Station plans to strengthen safety on walking trails and establish a dense safety reporting network due to the recent increase in visitors to the Hoedongho Lake trail.

The Autonomous Police Committee plans to discover and further expand various resident-tailored and life-close public safety policies in cooperation with the Busan Police Agency and frontline police stations to approach citizens first.

Jung Yong-hwan, chairman of the Busan Metropolitan Autonomous Police Committee, said, “We will develop promotional policies that make it easier for citizens to understand the autonomous police system by listening to various opinions through cooperation with police stations and related organizations,” adding, “We will do our best to promote the autonomous police system closely related to citizens’ lives.”
