[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Dongguk Lee] The Busan Metropolitan Autonomous Police Committee visited the summer police stations at the currently operating beaches to inspect security matters and urged proactive patrols.

On the 7th, Jeong Yonghwan, Chairman of the Busan Metropolitan Autonomous Police Committee, visited the summer police stations at Haeundae and Gwangalli beaches, the largest summer resorts in the country, and on the 13th, he visited the summer police stations at Dadaepo and Songdo beaches respectively to listen to the difficulties of the staff and inspect patrol matters.

Joining Chairman Jeong on the site visits were Moon Bonggyun, Chief of Busan Nambu Police Station, Park Youngok, Chief of Haeundae Summer Police Station, and Shin Haesung, Chief of Gwangalli Summer Police Station.

The summer police station staff generally suggested the establishment of rest areas where they can rest during late-night hours and the shortage of supplies, to which Chairman Jeong said he would review the budget and strive to actively reflect these needs.

At seven beaches in Busan, from July 1 to August 31, two summer police stations (Haeundae and Gwangalli) and five summer police outposts (Songjeong, Songdo, Dadaepo, Ilgwang, and Imrang) are operated, with 82 police officers assigned to maintain 24-hour beach security to create a safe summer sea environment for vacationers.

This year, with the lifting of summer social distancing measures, more vacationers are expected to visit the beaches. Accordingly, the city’s autonomous police committee deployed personal mobility devices (PM) to the tourist police unit to enable rapid response to 112 emergency calls within the beaches.

They plan to strengthen proactive and preventive patrol activities to prepare for water safety accidents and sexual crimes, dedicating their utmost efforts to the safety of vacationers.

Chairman Jeong Yonghwan stated, “As the demand for security at summer resorts is expected to return to pre-COVID levels, we will do our best to ensure pleasant and safe security activities at vacation spots through full cooperation and response with related organizations such as district and county local governments, 119 fire stations, and the Coast Guard.”
