About 200 people, including members of the autonomous crime prevention unit and their families, participated in the event, cleaning up trash that had accumulated after the cherry blossom season and inspecting crime prevention facilities such as streetlights and CCTV, thereby taking care of both the local environment and public safety.

'Crime Prevention Plogging' is a specialized community policing program by the Gumi Police Station that combines elements of crime prevention with 'plogging', an activity where people pick up trash while jogging.

Since 2021, the Gumi Police have been promoting this activity, presenting a new model for community-based public safety efforts.

Son Sanggu, head of the Gumi 2nd Autonomous Crime Prevention Unit, said, "Through crime prevention plogging, we will contribute to creating an environment where local residents can live with peace of mind."

Kim Donguk, chief of the Gumi Police Station, emphasized, "This activity is a great example of police and citizens working together for public safety," and added, "We will continue to carry out various activities to make Gumi a safer place together with the residents."
