Gyeongbuk Police, Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power, and Red Cross Join Forces to Support Crime Victims

10 Million Won Donated Annually for Three Years
Building a "Comprehensive Safety Net" Without Blind Spots

The Gyeongbuk Provincial Police Agency, together with Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power and the Gyeongbuk branch of the Korean Red Cross, is launching a tripartite cooperation system to strengthen the protection and support of crime victims.

Obumyeong Gyeongbuk Provincial Police Agency, Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power, and Red Cross Join Hands to Support Crime Victims.

At the agreement ceremony held at the Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power headquarters in Gyeongju on August 27, Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power pledged to donate 10 million won annually from 2025 to 2027, for a total fund of 30 million won.

This collaboration is significant as it represents a "public-private partnership model" that combines the company's social contribution activities, the police's commitment to victim protection, and the Red Cross's emergency support system.

To eliminate blind spots through "tailored support," the Gyeongbuk Provincial Police Agency has been working with local organizations since last year to reduce gaps in victim support, raising a fund totaling 95 million won. So far, 53 million won has been provided to 25 victims, directly supporting urgent cases such as families facing financial hardship and abused children.

In particular, a notable example of the fund's impact is the case in which the police covered medical expenses for a child in a shelter who was unable to receive dental treatment due to tooth damage, helping the child regain a "healthy smile."

Choi Miseop, Head of the Life Safety Division at the Gyeongbuk Provincial Police Agency, emphasized, "Protecting and supporting crime victims is an essential police duty, just as important as investigation," adding, "We will do our utmost to help victims return to their daily lives."

This agreement is seen as the starting point for building a regional community safety net that not only provides financial support but also promotes the physical and psychological recovery and social reintegration of victims.

Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power, as a public enterprise operating key national industries, will fulfill its social responsibility; the Red Cross will contribute its professional support capabilities; and the police will provide on-site responsiveness, together establishing a "tailored support system."

This agreement is noteworthy as a public-private partnership model aimed at realizing the shared value of a "safe local community," going beyond the recovery of individual crime victims.
