Gangwon Police Promote 'Comprehensive Security' Measures for Chuseok Holiday

Crime Vulnerability Inspection of Financial Institutions and Multi-use Facilities
Temporary Parking Allowed Around Traditional Markets

[Asia Economy Reporter Ra Young-cheol] The Gangwon Provincial Police Agency will conduct a "Chuseok Holiday Special Crime Prevention Campaign" from the 29th of this month to the 12th of next month.

The Crime Prevention Diagnosis Team and local police will focus on inspecting crime vulnerability factors and resolving security concerns at financial institutions and multi-use facilities, while police officers in charge of internal and external duties, investigations, criminal affairs, and traffic police will work to ensure public safety.

During the Chuseok holiday, traffic volume will be dispersed using guide signs and Variable Message Signs (VMS), and temporary parking will be allowed around traditional markets (51 locations).

In areas expected to be congested such as large marts, department stores, train stations, and terminals, efforts will be made to minimize traffic inconvenience, and undercover patrol cars (6 on highways, 2 on national roads) will be used to crack down on speeding and reckless driving.

Monitoring of households with a risk of recurrence will be strengthened, and a cooperative system with related agencies will be established to respond to domestic violence cases and promptly protect victims.

Focused crackdowns will be conducted on break-ins and robberies targeting vacant houses, gold and silver shops, and unmanned stores handling cash, and proactive and preventive criminal activities will be carried out to prevent voice phishing crimes and violence in daily life.

Kim Do-hyung, Chief of the Gangwon Provincial Police Agency, stated, "We will concentrate our policing capabilities during the Chuseok holiday period to ensure that residents can spend a peaceful Chuseok holiday by securing public safety."
