Jeonnam Police Hold Meeting on 'Creating Crime Prevention Environment'

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] Jeonnam Police announced on the 19th that on the 15th, they held a meeting attended by the heads of the Community Safety Divisions of 21 police stations to establish a dense security safety net through the expansion of village self-defense CCTV and to create an environment for crime prevention.

At the meeting, they discussed the progress of CCTV installation at each police station and pledged to make further efforts to create an environment where residents can feel safe.

They also decided to actively promote the Autonomous Police Office Support Ordinance to continuously support the maintenance and repair costs of CCTV.

Jeonnam, due to its characteristics such as large area, low population density, and aging population, requires the expansion of unmanned security facilities such as CCTV above all for crime prevention.

Accordingly, since January this year, in collaboration with local governments, related organizations, and village residents as a local community, they have completed the installation of 2,561 village self-defense CCTV units at 1,457 locations in crime-vulnerable areas such as major village entrances and exits, hiking trail surroundings, and agricultural product storage warehouses.

A police official said, “With the expansion of village self-defense CCTV, a solid security infrastructure will be established, which will have effects on crime prevention, detection, and the rapid discovery of missing or dementia-affected elderly, and furthermore, it will contribute to improving the residents’ perceived safety.”
