Im Seonghwa, Gwangju Seo-gu Council Member, Passes Autonomous Police Affairs Support Ordinance in Standing Committee

Im Seonghwa, a member of the Gwangju Metropolitan City Seo-gu Council, proposed the 'Ordinance on Support for Autonomous Police Affairs,' which passed the relevant standing committee on the 19th.

The ordinance was enacted to apply the autonomous police affairs, which were abruptly implemented in 2021, to suit Seo-gu. The main contents include ▲establishing a support plan for autonomous police affairs ▲supporting autonomous police affairs ▲building a cooperative system with related organizations such as the Seo-gu Council, Seobu Police Station, Seobu Office of Education, and Seobu Fire Station.

Councilor Im stated, “Although three years have passed since the launch of autonomous police, there is no autonomous police affairs system tailored to Seo-gu.” He added, “It is necessary for Seo-gu Office and related organizations to establish a cooperative system to provide security services that reflect the needs of residents.”

Furthermore, Councilor Im expressed expectations that with the enactment of this ordinance, Seo-gu-type autonomous police affairs will proceed smoothly, contributing to protecting the safety and lives of residents by providing customized security services that reflect residents' demands, addressing current issues such as ▲response to malicious complaints ▲protection of women and youth ▲prevention of stalking crimes.
