Gwangju Gwangsan Police Station Conducts Pre-Registration of Fingerprints for Elderly Dementia Patients

The Gwangsan Police Station in Gwangju Metropolitan City conducted a 'pre-registration of fingerprints' service for elderly dementia patients.

The Women's and Youth Division of Gwangsan Police Station provided this service to 30 elderly dementia patients at the Neulpureun Cheongchun Rehabilitation Daycare Center in Suwan-dong, Gwangsan-gu on the 18th.

Pre-registration of fingerprints is a system that pre-registers fingerprints, facial photos, physical characteristics, and guardian contact information of children under 18, and patients with intellectual disabilities, autism, mental disorders, or dementia into a profiling system.

In case of disappearance, the registered data can be utilized to the fullest extent to quickly return the individual to their family.

Registration is possible at any Women's and Youth Division, district police station, or police box near the individual's residence regardless of their official address. It can also be easily registered through the Safe Dream website or the Safe Dream app.

A police official stated, "We will provide a visiting fingerprint registration service by visiting as many daycare centers, kindergartens, and social welfare facilities as possible and do our best to prevent disappearance incidents in the surrounding area.”
