Jeonnam Police Launch Special Security Operations for Chuseok Holiday

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] Jeonnam Police announced on the 28th that they will carry out 'Special Chuseok Holiday Security Activities' for two weeks from the 29th of this month to the 12th of next month to secure public safety, as a concentration of security demand is expected during the Chuseok holiday period.

First, before Chuseok, the Crime Prevention Outreach Team (CPO) will conduct crime prevention assessments on vulnerable facilities such as financial institutions and gold shops, and carry out patrol activities to prevent burglaries in densely populated multi-family housing areas and areas requiring protection for low-income residents, along with promotional activities.

Also, during the holiday period (based on 2021), 112 emergency calls increase by 32.3% compared to normal times, and especially reports of domestic violence concentrate, so monitoring will be conducted on households at risk of recurrence to prevent reoccurrence and check for support measures.

Furthermore, phased traffic management will be implemented to ensure traffic safety and minimize traffic inconvenience.

Phase 1 covers the three days before the Chuseok holiday, focusing on managing congested places such as large marts and park cemeteries, and Phase 2 covers five days including the Chuseok holiday, during which efforts will be made to secure smooth traffic flow by providing real-time traffic information on highways, connecting national roads, and safety on the outbound and return routes.

A Jeonnam Police official stated, “Through this special security activity, we will do our best to ensure that residents can welcome the Chuseok holiday more safely and peacefully than any other year.”
