▲Installation of Pedestrian Detection Sensor-Type Address Information Facilities ▲Expansion of Trail CCTV ▲Advancement of CPTED

Dongjak-gu (Mayor Park Il-ha) recently announced that it is implementing proactive safety measures targeting crime-vulnerable areas such as secluded alleys and major park walking trails to prevent the frequent occurrence of serious social crimes and protect the daily lives of residents.

First, in a nationwide first, the district completed the installation of lighting-type address information facilities in collaboration with the police station, targeting crime-vulnerable areas. A total of 17 basic number plates with solar-powered LED pedestrian surveillance sensors and 26 wall-mounted phosphorescent (glow-in-the-dark) street nameplates were installed.

These installations enable quick response such as location identification during emergencies and illuminate dark alleys, effectively preventing crimes by deterring criminal intent.

The installations will be continuously expanded, focusing on areas with a high proportion of single-person households and secluded alleys that are vulnerable to crime.

Additionally, CCTV will be expanded on major park walking trails, including five sections of Dongjak Chung-hyo-gil. By the end of this year, approximately KRW 650 million will be invested to add about 20 CCTVs.

In case of emergencies, 21 additional CCTV emergency bells will be installed to enable rapid response by the CCTV integrated control center.

Furthermore, to strengthen security on walking trails, measures such as ▲enhanced joint patrols by civilians, police, and government officials ▲sending safety text messages to Dongjak residents ▲and safety keeper activities will be implemented.

Moreover, the district has expanded crime prevention design throughout alleys by creating resting spaces in narrow alley gaps and is actively preparing proactive measures such as signing a 'Women’s Safe Return Home Pathway Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)' with the police station.

Park Il-ha, Mayor of Dongjak-gu, stated, “We plan to comprehensively establish crime prevention devices to alleviate residents’ anxiety,” adding, “We will do our utmost to build a dense urban safety network so that all residents can live in a safe city.”
