Dongdaemun-gu (District Mayor Lee Pil-hyung) held the 2nd “Task Force Meeting for Preventing Crime with Abnormal Motives” on the 8th to prepare for safety accidents that may occur in crowded areas within the district after the 2024 College Scholastic Ability Test and to prevent crimes with abnormal motives.

Following the meeting held in August, the 2nd meeting was attended by nine departments including the Dongdaemun-gu Safety and Disaster Division, Dongdaemun Police Station (Community Safety Division), Dongdaemun Fire Station (Disaster Management Division), Kyung Hee University, Samyook Health University, and other related organizations to discuss safety management measures around university areas and major stations where many test takers are expected to visit after the exam.

The district plans to actively utilize a crowd management system linked with CCTV in areas such as Hoegi Station and Kyung Hee University vicinity, Hyehwa Station vicinity, and Gyeongdong Market vicinity to prevent safety accidents and crimes. In addition, in preparation for juvenile crimes and incidents around entertainment districts that may occur after the exam, patrol activities will be strengthened in cooperation with Dongdaemun Police Station, and the 14 autonomous crime prevention squads in the district will conduct “crime prevention campaigns and night patrols.”

Furthermore, to prevent safety accidents, enforcement against illegal advertisements (such as signboards and balloon signs) in expected crowded areas will be intensified, and obstacles to passage such as illegal street vendors (including street stalls) and piled-up items will be cleared to create a pleasant and safe walking environment.

Deputy Mayor Choi Hong-yeon, who presided over the meeting, stated, “We will do our best to create a safe Dongdaemun-gu by strengthening cooperation with related organizations so that test takers and their families can spend their time comfortably and happily after the exam, and by continuously cooperating with local residents including autonomous crime prevention squads.”
