Nowon-gu Conducts Joint Public-Private-Police Campaign to Eradicate Drug-Related Sexual Crimes

Nowon-gu (District Mayor Oh Seung-rok) conducted a joint campaign with the public, private, and police sectors on the afternoon of the 19th around Nowon Station Culture Street to eradicate drug-related sexual crimes.

This campaign was planned to raise awareness of the importance of drug crime prevention and increase vigilance amid growing public anxiety due to the recent rise in drug-related crimes among teenagers and people in their 20s, exposure to drug information through YouTube and Telegram, and sexual crimes occurring when drugs are slipped into drinks at clubs.

The campaign involved Nowon-gu Family Policy Division, Nowon Police Station, Sahmyook University SW Addiction Center, and Nowon Companion Dog Patrol (7 dogs). Participants distributed ▲drug test kits ▲diagnostic stickers ▲promotional materials (hand warmers) to inform residents about the seriousness of drug crimes and ways to prevent and respond to them.

The march started at Lotte Department Store and proceeded around Nowon Station Line 4 exits 1 and 2, as well as the Nowon Culture Street area, delivering messages to eradicate drug crimes.

Oh Seung-rok, Mayor of Nowon-gu, stated, “Drug crimes are a serious issue that affects not only individuals’ lives but society as a whole. We will continue to actively work together with the public, private, and police sectors to create a safe and healthy community.”
