Additional Installation of CCTV and Emergency Bells, Strengthened Public-Private Joint Patrols, and Expanded Late-Night Return Home Support

Geumcheon-gu (Mayor Yu Seong-hoon) held a meeting of the 'Task Force (TF) for Strengthening Response to Indiscriminate Crimes' on the 29th, chaired by Mayor Yu Seong-hoon, to discuss measures to respond to the recent series of 'abnormal motive crimes.'

The task force (TF) is led by the mayor and consists of 21 practical departments. Its goal is to review crime prevention measures according to each department's responsibilities and strengthen safety measures.

The main measures include ▲ installation of closed-circuit televisions (CCTV) and emergency bells in vulnerable areas, multi-use facilities, and crowded places ▲ strengthening joint patrols with private organizations ▲ expanding late-night return home support for women, youth, and single-person households through programs such as 'Safe Return Scouts' and 'Safe Village Security Guards' ▲ expanding the application of Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) such as safety windows, sensor lighting, and floor signals.

A total of 258 new CCTV cameras will be installed in 80 locations, and 295 outdated security cameras will be replaced. Additionally, more cameras will be installed in parks, stations, and large stores where recent incidents have occurred.

Yu Seong-hoon, Mayor of Geumcheon-gu, stated, “Protecting the lives and property of residents is an important responsibility of local governments. We will create a safety system through public-private cooperation,” and added, “We will ensure that the strengthening of the safety system is implemented appropriately through immediate budget allocation, including supplementary budget planning.”
