Gwangju Buk-gu Selected as an Excellent Institution in the 8th Korea Crime Prevention Awards

On the 12th, Buk-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City announced that it was the only local government in Gwangju and Jeonnam to be selected as an excellent institution in the public safety governance category of the '8th Korea Crime Prevention Awards.'

Co-hosted by the National Police Agency and JoongAng Ilbo, the 'Korea Crime Prevention Awards' have been recognizing and awarding outstanding public institutions, social organizations, and companies that have worked to build safe communities through crime prevention policies and activities annually since 2016.

In this regard, Buk-gu's submission, the 'Buk-gu Type Public Safety Maintenance 4P Process Establishment,' was recognized as an exemplary case.

Buk-gu systematized the public safety governance safety net through the operation of the 'Local Public Safety Council,' which involves civilians, government, and police. It has been conducting customized Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) projects by expanding budgets in the field of creating a safe city, as proposed during 'dialogues with residents' and 'meetings with school principals.'

Additionally, Buk-gu plans to respond to rapidly evolving intelligent digital crimes by conducting precise analysis of crime prevention data linked with the AI Data Center established within the district.

In particular, in September, to respond to abnormal motive crimes, which have recently emerged as a social issue, Buk-gu signed a 'business agreement for establishing a safe public safety environment using drones' with the Northern Police Station and the Korea Drone Association, demonstrating timely policy implementation to ensure residents' safety.

A Buk-gu official stated, "This award is the result of organically networking civilians, government, police, and academia to prioritize residents' safety and respond to the public safety environment." He added, "We will continue to create a support system capable of promptly responding to changing public safety demands through active collaboration."
