In major densely populated areas, local police, police special forces, police riot squads, and detectives will be utilized to the fullest extent to firmly suppress criminal intent. Visible patrol activities will also be strengthened through cooperative security efforts with police partner organizations such as the Autonomous Crime Prevention Unit to preemptively quell the crime atmosphere.

In coordination with the CCTV control center, signs of criminal activity will be closely monitored. Along with deploying police officers, active requests will be made for security guards to be stationed at facilities to establish a self-defense posture. Preventive measures will be taken to ensure there are no blind spots in public safety for residents.

Additionally, a special security task force (TF) team has been formed to respond to stabbing crimes, with daily checks on functional progress to actively respond.

Kang Hwang-su, Chief of the Jeonbuk Provincial Police Agency, stated, "We will mobilize all police resources to ensure that public safety is not threatened by various violent crimes and strive to protect the daily lives of residents safely."
