In particular, during this period, autonomous crime prevention unions from Yeongcheon, Chilgok, Pohang Buk-gu, Pohang Nam-gu, and the Gyeongsangbuk-do Autonomous Crime Prevention Association will dispatch support personnel to help strengthen nighttime security in Gyeongju.

The "APEC Security Patrol" was officially launched at an inauguration ceremony held at the Giparang Hall in Hwarang Village last July, and has continued its voluntary crime prevention activities with the aim of maintaining safety and order in Gyeongju, as well as providing friendly assistance to foreign visitors during the APEC Summit.

Paek Seunghoon, head of the Gyeongju Autonomous Crime Prevention Union, stated, "As the world's attention is focused here, we will fulfill our mission as APEC Security Patrol members to protect the safety and reputation of Gyeongju."

Joo Nakyoung, Mayor of Gyeongju, said, "I deeply appreciate the dedication of the Autonomous Crime Prevention Union for the safety of our citizens," and added, "The sweat and passion of the APEC Security Patrol members will become a strong safeguard for not only the citizens of Gyeongju but also for the safety of people around the world."
