On April 8, Guri City held the launch ceremony for the 'Guri City Illegal Filming Citizen Surveillance Team' at the Guri City Women's Happiness Center, officially marking the beginning of its activities.

The 'Guri City Illegal Filming Citizen Surveillance Team' is comprised of approximately 40 members from the Guri City branch of the Gyeonggi-do Women's Association Council (Chairwoman Hong Yeonhee) and the Sutaek Voluntary Crime Prevention Corps of Guri City (Captain Kim Jaeseon). The team plans to focus its inspections on public institutions and restrooms in areas with heavy foot traffic, such as the plaza around Guri Station, checking for the installation of illegal filming cameras.

Since 2023, Guri City has continuously promoted inspections and campaigns to prevent illegal filming crimes. Up until last year, the city conducted 909 inspections of public restrooms, held 63 illegal filming prevention campaigns, carried out 7 joint inspections with public, private, and police entities, and loaned detection equipment 25 times, steadily strengthening its inspection and prevention efforts.

In particular, with the recent advancement of filming technology such as ultra-miniature cameras leading to an increase in illegal filming and distribution crimes, the operation of this citizen surveillance team is expected to provide a more systematic and strengthened response based on previous achievements.

A Guri City official stated, "The proactive efforts of the citizen surveillance team will play a vital role in preventing crimes in advance and making Guri City a safer place where citizens can live with peace of mind," adding, "Going forward, we will continue to expand prevention-focused policies based on public-private cooperation."
