Strengthened Patrols at 5 Locations Including Bonghwasan Dullegil and Bibong Park

The Suncheon Police Station in Jeollanam-do (Chief Kim Nam-hee) recently announced that it conducted safety inspections on parks and walking trails frequently used by many people in the area to prevent violent crimes in connection with the recent "Sinlim-dong Park Sexual Assault" case.

According to the police, due to the recent "abnormal motive crimes" causing social unrest, there was concern that another violent incident occurring at Sinlim-dong Park would increase citizens' anxiety. Therefore, the police chief and the Crime Prevention Diagnosis Team visited and conducted safety inspections at five parks frequently used by many citizens (Jukdobong Park, Bibong Park, Dongcheon Riverside Park, Sindae Ok-nyeo Park, and Gangcheong Park).

Additionally, while greeting citizens using the parks, they promoted safety guidelines for a safe walk, including ▲ walking with two or more people instead of alone ▲ carrying self-defense tools such as whistles to alert danger ▲ maintaining an appropriate distance from others ▲ carrying a mobile phone.

Police Chief Kim Nam-hee stated, “We plan to continuously conduct safety inspections at places where many people gather, such as parks and walking trails, install additional facilities through cooperation with related organizations, and carry out safety activities jointly with cooperative groups.”
