Daegu Police Agency Partners with LH to Conduct Crime Prevention Assessments at Three Rental Apartment Sites

Daegu Police Agency (Chief Kim Soo-young) conducted a joint crime prevention diagnosis with LH Daegu-Gyeongbuk Regional Headquarters (Head Shin Kwang-ho) from the 7th to the 14th on rental apartments managed by LH Daegu-Gyeongbuk Headquarters, including Myeonggok 2 Complex, Bondong Complex, and Hwanggeum 3 Complex.

This crime prevention diagnosis was prepared as part of the crime prevention business agreement between Daegu Police Agency and LH Daegu-Gyeongbuk Headquarters on May 23, aiming to promote the CPTED (Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design) project for rental apartments.

The joint diagnosis of rental apartments conducted this time involved about 20 participants, including the Daegu Police Agency and local police station crime prevention diagnosis teams, LH Daegu-Gyeongbuk Headquarters, complex management offices, and related companies. They inspected crime-vulnerable areas within the complexes, CCTV blind spots, individual household security facilities, and access control facilities based on CPTED principles such as surveillance, control, and territorial reinforcement.

LH Daegu-Gyeongbuk Headquarters plans to secure visibility by trimming trees that obstruct pedestrians' and CCTV's views through police consultation during this joint diagnosis and installing safety convex mirrors and CCTVs in crime-vulnerable areas such as between buildings and fences.

Additionally, they decided to upgrade the security lights within the complexes to 50W and improve illumination by adding downward-facing walkways in areas on the 1st and 2nd floors where light pollution is a concern.

After this project, unused facilities with crime concerns (wastewater treatment tanks) will be converted into parks to eliminate crime-prone spaces, and emergency bells in underground parking lots will also be continuously improved.

Going forward, crime prevention diagnoses will also be conducted for rental apartments in Seongseo 1 Complex, Seongseo 3 Complex, and Sangyeok Complex to promote environmental improvements reflecting CPTED principles. Additionally, crime prevention promotional activities regarding rental fraud, voice phishing, and drugs will be carried out using elevator monitors in rental apartments.

Kim Soo-young, Chief of Daegu Police Agency, stated, “Most private environmental improvement projects focus only on convenience without considering crime prevention, but this collaboration with LH Daegu-Gyeongbuk Headquarters, which breaks away from that, holds significant meaning in crime prevention. We will continue to strive to make this project a model case for crime prevention environmental improvement projects.”
