[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Dongguk Lee] The Busan Metropolitan Autonomous Police Committee will change the external markings of 55 traffic patrol cars under the autonomous police from ‘경찰 (POLICE)’ to ‘부산경찰 (BUSAN POLICE)’ starting this August.

Since the full implementation of the autonomous police system on July 1 last year, the city’s autonomous police committee, focusing on promoting the autonomous police, has aimed to approach citizens even in small and subtle areas. From June, it has been working with the Busan Metropolitan Police Agency to change the external markings of traffic patrol cars.

The parts on the left, right, and rear of the traffic patrol cars that previously only displayed ‘경찰’ have been changed to ‘부산경찰’, and the font used is ‘Busanche’, a font exclusive to Busan City.

The vehicles whose external markings will be changed to ‘부산경찰’ this time include all 55 traffic patrol cars assigned to frontline police stations for autonomous police duties and 36 traffic patrol motorcycles. Going forward, through consultations with the Busan Metropolitan Police Agency and related legal revisions, the external markings of traffic patrol cars belonging to the national police at local police substations will also be changed sequentially.

By changing the external markings of traffic patrol cars, which work to alleviate and prevent vehicle congestion in traffic-heavy areas and major intersections, to ‘부산경찰’, it is expected that public awareness of the autonomous police will improve.

In addition, the Autonomous Police Committee plans to continue promoting the autonomous police with publicity tailored to the public’s perspective to ensure the stable establishment of the autonomous police system.

Jung Yonghwan, Chairperson of the City Autonomous Police Committee, said, “Starting with this change in traffic patrol car markings, we will promptly proceed with changes to all traffic patrol cars and police uniforms in Busan through related legal revisions. We will do our best to be a Busan Metropolitan Autonomous Police Committee that promotes the autonomous police and gets closer to the citizens.”
