The provincial police agency explained that in this evaluation, it was recognized for tailored policies that residents can feel, such as ▲reducing the 112 on-site arrival time ▲a 13% decrease in traffic fatalities in the province compared to the previous year ▲creating safe alleys through Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) based on crime prevention diagnosis.

It was also noted as a major achievement that they strictly responded to crimes infringing on national security and public livelihood, including ▲overseas leakage of defense industry technology and trade secrets ▲jeonse fraud, phone financial fraud, virtual asset investment fraud ▲violent acts at construction sites ▲cases involving habitual abuse of disabled children by daycare center directors and teachers.

They received high scores in communication-related areas such as integrity and human rights healing camps, communication meetings between senior and MZ generation employees, and improving public satisfaction with security.

He added, “Going forward, the Gyeongnam Police will do their best to be a competent police force trusted by the residents, in line with the goal of being a reliable Gyeongnam Police.”
